Bulk Trash by URL helps editors and SEOs quickly clean up content by trashing items based on a list of URLs. Paste your URLs, let the plugin map each URL to a post ID (handles common variations like trailing slashes and marketing query params), select what you want to remove, and process in efficient batches with progress feedback.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Paste URLs to find matching posts, pages, and custom post types.</li>
<li>Fast URL-to-post mapping in AJAX batches with progress bar.</li>
<li>Select exactly which items to trash before running.</li>
<li>Batched trashing with live progress, pause/resume controls.</li>
<li>Optional completion summary with counts and lists (trashed, failed, no permission, invalid).</li>
<li>Settings to tune performance and limits:
<ul>
<li>Max Page Size (mapping batch size)</li>
<li>Max URLs per run</li>
<li>Toggle completion summary</li>
<li>Optional mode to set matched items to Private instead of Trash</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Built for large lists and long-running jobs. Everything goes to the WordPress Trash, so you can restore or permanently delete as you normally would.
Capabilities & security:
<ul>
<li>Restricted to users who can <code>manage_options</code>.</li>
<li>Nonce-protected AJAX endpoints.</li>
<li>Conservative sanitization and server-side validation.</li>
</ul>
Compatibility notes:
<ul>
<li>Works with sites using pretty permalinks. Mapping relies on WordPress <code>url_to_postid()</code> and common URL variants.</li>
<li>Custom post types are supported if they use public, front-end URLs.</li>
</ul>

This plugin records which user actually trashed a post, which in a multi-author environment may not always be the original post author. This helps to maintain accountability for who was ultimately responsible for deleting a post. It also records when the post got trashed.
The admin listing of trashed posts is amended with new “Trashed By” and “Trashed On” columns that shows the name of the person who trashed the post or page and the date the post was trashed, respectively.
The plugin makes no assumption about who trashed a post, or when, for posts that were trashed prior to the use of this plugin (since the plugin could not have directly recorded information about the post’s trashing). The “Trashed By” and “Trashed On” values for those posts will remain empty. Put another way, only posts or pages trashed while this plugin is active will have the user who trashed the post/page and that date recorded.
