Delete users 30 days after registering on WP Multisite?

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Hello. Can I use this plugin on a WordPress Multi-site to AUTOMATICALLY delete users 30 days after they register? If so, will it delete ALL their data from the database, including metadata?

[SudarKeymaster]

Right now this plugin doesn’t support deleting users based on user meta in multisite.

It is there in my todo list and I am planning to add support for it in next release which will be released in a couple of weeks.

You can track the progress on the todo at https://github.com/sudar/bulk-delete/issues/121

If this feature is really important for you, then I can increase the priority on it.

PS: I was out this past weekend and so was not able to get back to you earlier.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Okay. Can I still set the plugin to automatically delete users 30 days after they register in Multisite? Is this possible to do automatically with Bulk Delete or must it be done manually?

[SudarKeymaster]

Once the above feature is implemented, then you would be able to delete users x days after they register in a multisite.

To delete them automatically (ie: using a schedule, instead of manually deleting) you may have to buy the scheduler addon.

Let me know how critical this feature is for you. Based on that I can set the priority for this ticket.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Thank you, Sudar. This feature is VERY critical. I am unable to launch my Multisite until I have a plugin that can perform this operation because I am planning on having a lot of users registering for their own WordPress site from my Multisite and I don’t want to have to worry about remembering to manually delete each user 30 days after they register. If you implement this in the next update I will gladly buy the plugin. It just needs to AUTOMATICALLY delete any NEW user 30 days after that user registers. I can’t stress how important it is that it is an automated deletion of the user exactly 30 days after they register. Actually, if you could make the 30 day criteria changeable, like I could choose 30 days or 31 days, or 14 days, or 60 days, or any number of days, that would be even better! If there is any way you can have the plugin completely clean the database of their WordPress site AND all metadata so my database doesn’t get blogged down after multiple users get deleted that would be perfect! Again, I will gladly buy your plugin if this is implemented in the next release because then it would do exactly what I need it to do. One more thing, would there be any way I could have the plugin activated on my end but, users would not be able to even see the plugin on their site, that way they couldn’t activate it or deactivate it, and mess anything up? If this particular feature is not possible, I would understand.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Thanks for letting me know. I will increase the priority for this feature and will try to see if I can make a release with only this feature instead of waiting to complete all the features that are planned for the next release.

Once the feature is done, you would be able to automatically delete users (based on a cron job) x days after they register, where x is configurable.

While it deletes the users it will also delete all meta data associated for that user in the wp_usermeta table.

Once question though. Do you also want to delete the blog that they have created?

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Hello, Sudar. A configurable deletion based on a cron job is exactly what I need! I believe you will also find that there are other WordPress Multisite users that are looking for this exact feature. When I was searching for how to do this on Google I came across quite a few search results where other people were looking for a way to do this but, didn’t know how. As far as automatically deleting the user’s blog, yes, I would also like their blog to be deleted as well. Anything that the user created, whether it be posts, pages, menus, uploaded images, uploaded video, all content whatsoever should be deleted from the database after 30 days from registering. Their blog and all their WordPress files will be located on a subdomain, of course. Is this possible? By the way, thank you for your quick replies. I don’t know how many WordPress plugin support forums I’ve been to where they don’t even answer my posted questions.

Hello Matt,

Sure. I have started working on it and will let you know once I am done.

By the way, thank you for your quick replies. I don’t know how many WordPress plugin support forums I’ve been to where they don’t even answer my posted questions.

Not a problem. Also apologies for not getting back to you earlier for the first reply. I was out for the weekend and it took me sometime to get back to you.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Awesome! Thanks, Sudar. I look forward to purchasing and installing the plugin.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Hey, Sudar. I just wanted to ask you how it’s going with the plugin. Any updates on your progress? I am really looking forward to implementing your plugin on my multisite.

[SudarKeymaster]

Hello Matt,

I am working on it and I am planning to release the new version of the plugin by the end of this month.

I will have something that you can test in about two weeks and will be releasing the update after that.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Perfect! Thank you for keeping me updated, Sudar.

[Matt FoxParticipant]

Hey, Sudar. How is it coming with the plugin? I know in your last post you said it would be available for testing by the end of March. Any updates? Do you have the plugin available for me to test, by any chance?
