deleting users

[ameo]

Code: Select all

You are about to delete user #25 norman . Are you serious? This will disallow showing any entries written by him on the frontend.

will deleting users also delete their posts? or just prevent if from showing up?

thanks

I've never tried it, but it certainly suggests the entries will no longer display.

Have you thought about the option "Disable user / forbid activity" instead?

Hi!

Entries will remain and be attributed to the no longer existing author. The author name is stored inside the entries tables, thus it can exist even though the ID of the author will no longer be viewable.

URLs for specific authors will no longer yield entries though.
