While I can identify a couple of potential bottlenecks in the user deletion routines we employ – and already have tickets open to rectify – I am really not sure what this means:

…there’s a SP feature listing the existing users so the posts for the deleted user can be re-attributed to someone else…

SP doesn’t list anything – we run some code but there is no interactive display. It is a most annoying feature of WordPress actually, that the delete user routines are so hard to work with as they do not provide the hooks we would like to see. So – while I agree our routines performing the actual delete are a little long-winded in a couple of places I am at a loss to know what you are actually referring to I am afraid.

Oh wait… are you referring to the ‘attribute posts to…’ dropdown list? If so then that is nothing to do with Simple:Press. That, my friend, is pure WordPress.

Yes, I was referring to “attribute posts to” dropdown list… I was actually confused thinking it was related to SP posts, not WP ones.

My mistake, I’ll check with WP team if something can be done then.

Thank you.

We would appreciate that actually. It would also be nice if they gave us some more hooks to use for the whole deletion process as at the moment it is pretty thin and unhelpful…

God luck!
