Description

Delayed Delete, developed by Crystal Green at the Tidbits of Experience mommy blog, is a WordPress plugin that provides a way to queue posts for bulk deletion. Instead of immediately deleting posts, you can add them to a delayed delete queue and delete them all at once when ready.

Features:

  • Add posts to delayed delete queue via bulk actions in the Posts admin page.
  • View queued posts in a dedicated admin submenu under Posts.
  • Remove selected posts from the queue individually or in bulk.
  • Export queue as a .txt file or display for copy/paste into your own file.
  • Permanently delete all queued posts with a single button click.
  • Security measures including nonces and capability checks.
  • Internationalization ready.

Translations

The plugin is ready for translations. The text domain is delayed-delete.

Installation

  1. Upload the delayed-delete folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Posts > Delayed Delete to use the feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add pages or custom post types to the queue?

No, only standard posts (post_type = ‘post’) can be added to the queue.

What happens if I add the same post multiple times?

The plugin prevents duplicates from being added to the queue.

Is there an undo feature?

No, once posts are deleted, they cannot be recovered.
