Users Bulk Delete With Preview

2.3.0

Release Date – 28 September 2026

• Administrators, users who can manage other users and super admins are now protected and cannot be deleted with the plugin (developers can change this with the ubdwp_is_protected_user filter)
• Protected users are marked in the preview table and cannot be selected
• The confirmation dialog now shows how many users will be deleted or skipped and what happens to their posts and comments
• Deleting 20 or more users requires typing the number of users to confirm (filterable with ubdwp_confirmation_threshold)
• The results step lists users that were not deleted, with the reason
• Registration date filter now supports on or after, on or before, on a specific day and between two dates
• Registration date filter now uses the site’s timezone, so day boundaries match what administrators see
• The Registered column in the preview is shown in the site’s timezone
• New Posts column in the preview shows how many posts each user has
• New filter: only users without posts or comments on the site
• The results step shows what happened to each user’s content instead of a user ID
• The confirmation field gets focus automatically and Enter confirms once the number matches
• “Meta is empty or missing” now also matches users who do not have the meta key at all
• Added a hint explaining how to find users with blank profile fields such as first_name
• Very large previews are loaded in parts of 10,000 users (filterable with ubdwp_preview_limit) with a notice, so the preview no longer fails on sites with tens of thousands of users
• WooCommerce product filter now searches products as you type instead of loading every product when the page opens, so the page stays fast in large stores
• WooCommerce “Select All” now matches customers who bought any product
• WooCommerce product filter uses a single faster query and only counts paid orders in both HPOS and legacy order storage
• Refreshed admin UI: all fields, Select2 dropdowns, tables, pagination, steps and the confirmation dialog now share one size, border, corner radius and the admin color scheme
• Fixed the “Select All” label on the existing users filter so clicking the text toggles the checkbox
• Removed hidden email and display name fields from the preview form
• Prefixed nonce actions
