One of my members wants me do delete all her postings along with her membership. How can i manage to delete her topics and postings completely from simplepress?

Thanks

first, there are not separate users for simple press... they are just wp users...  so you can delete them like any other wp user on the wp users admin panel...

alternatively, you can delete any user you want on forum - users - member information...

but, when you delete a user, all of their posts are not deleted...  they are converted to being a post from a guest...

are you saying you want to delete the user, but keep their posts?  if so, first time someone has asked for something like that...  and not currently supported within the plugin...

Thanks for your quick response.

It's a membership coaching forum with no guests. What i want is if a customer leaves the paid forum and wants me that no one can read her postings any longer, do i have to delete all her postings by hand or do i have an easier option?

right now, the simplest would be by hand... it would be possible to do with simple query in phpmyadmin, but could cause issues if first post in topic or only post in topic...

I have made note of this in a ticket to potentially offer admins an option to physcially delete user posts when deleting the user...

Having a feature where having all posts by a user deleted when their user account is removed would be useful for us.  We have a situation where some spam accounts have posted in multiple forums under multiple threads, making hand deletion cumbersome.  Obviously those spam user accounts will be deleted anyway, so having all the posts they made go away at the same time would be really helpful.

understand and its fairly high on our list...  priority right now is compatibility with wp 3.6 which is due to enter beta any day and getting our mobile stuff done...
