## Asennus
**Basic**
1. Install automatically in WordPress on the **Plugins -> Add New** subpanel or upload
the **delete-me** folder to the **/wp-content/plugins/** directory.
2. Activate the plugin on the **Plugins** panel in WordPress.
3. Go to the **Settings -> Delete Me** subpanel, check the WordPress roles you want
to allow to delete themselves using Delete Me, and click Save Changes.
4. Thats it! The delete link will be placed automatically near the bottom of the **
Your Profile** page for roles you allowed. If you prefer the delete link be on
your front-end, please read below.
**Advanced: Shortcode Usage**
_Note: To prevent the delete link from appearing on the **Your Profile** page, uncheck
the setting **Link Enabled**._
* **Custom Profile Page** – Copy and paste the Shortcode `[plugin_delete_me /]`
into the Post or Page you’ve created.
* **Theme File** – To call the Shortcode in one of your .php Theme files, use `
`.
* **Text Widget** – To use the Shortcode in a Text Widget, make sure the line `
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );` appears in your Theme Functions(
functions.php) file.
* **Attributes** – The attributes `class, style, html, js_confirm_warning, landing_url`
may be used to override settings, but are not required. They provide site owners
the ability to use multiple languages and/or multiple links within the same site
or even the same page each configured differently.
**Advanced: Translation**
_Note: Languages directory for plugins: **/wp-content/languages/plugins**_
1. Choose a translation method:
**A)** Get or provide [translations of this plugin on WordPress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/delete-me).
Alternatively, some language plugins (e.g. [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/))
can download and install the publicly available language files for plugins. **B)**
Create your own translations using the included **delete-me.pot** template file
found in this plugin’s languages directory and the free tool [Poedit](https://poedit.net).
2. Once you have finished your translations, export and save them as a .mo file.
3. Name the .mo file delete-me-{locale}.mo (e.g. delete-me-en_US.mo)
4. Place the .mo file into the languages directory for plugins.
_If you’re using Poedit, it will create a .po file too. You should keep the .po
file in order to open and save changes to your translations or to update the .po
file with source text changes when an updated delete-me.pot file is released. Just
be aware that the actual translations used by the plugin are inside the .mo file._
**_Warning: If you place your translation files into this plugin’s languages directory
instead of the directory shown above, they will be deleted or replaced with any
the author might include when updating the plugin._**
## UKK
### What happens to Posts, Links, and (optionally) Comments belonging to a deleted user?
Most Post types and Comments are moved to Trash. Links are always deleted permanently.
### Does this plugin support WordPress Multisite?
Yes, Network Activation and single Site activation are both supported. Users and
their content will only be deleted from the Site they delete themselves from, other
Network Sites will be unaffected.
### When using Multisite, are users deleted from the Network or only the Site deletion originated from?
By default, users registered to multiple Sites on the Network are only deleted from
the current Site and will remain registered to their remaining Sites. However, if
the setting ”Delete From Network” is checked, users will be deleted from the entire
Network.
### Is it possible for a user to delete anyone but themselves?
No, the user deleted is the currently logged in user, period.
### What does the Shortcode display when users are not logged in or their role is not allowed to delete themselves?
Nothing, when using the self-closing Shortcode tag (i.e. `[plugin_delete_me /]`).
However, when the opening and closing Shortcode tags are used (i.e. `[plugin_delete_me]`
Content`[/plugin_delete_me]`), the content inside the tags will appear instead of
the delete link.
### Where are users sent after deleting themselves?
The **Settings -> Delete Me** subpanel lets you enter any URL you’d like to redirect
deleted users to, set to homepage by default. You can leave ”Landing URL” blank
to have users remain at the same URL after deletion.
### Is there a confirmation before the user deletes themselves?
Yes, the delete link on the **Your Profile** page leads to a pre-built confirmation
page. You can optionally require users to confirm their password on this page before
deletion. The Shortcode delete Link provides a Javascript confirm dialog [OK] [Cancel]
by default, but may be disabled if preferred. Additionally, the Shortcode has a
setting that provides a Form instead of the Link, which requires users to confirm
their password.
### May I be notified of users who delete themselves and what was deleted?
Yes. The **Settings -> Delete Me** subpanel has a setting called ”E-mail Notification”,
just check the box and save changes.
### Does this plugin store any personal information about users?
No, the only data stored is related to the plugin’s settings which are located on
the **Settings -> Delete Me** subpanel.

[Daniel Avram](https://profiles.wordpress.org/danieldumitruavram/) 10.7.2024

Highly recommended!

[Namaste](https://profiles.wordpress.org/victoryel/) 7.3.2024
Hi there, I just want to add that it would be useful if you could include this too.
^^ I tested it on my website and it worked like a charm. I didn’t test it for PayPal
subscriptions, but for PMPro and Stripe, it works 100%. If someone needs it, you
need to insert it into delete-me/inc/delete_user.php after line 123 and before the//
Delete user (line comment.) Please make a back-up first.. 🙂 // Assuming you have
the subscription ID stored somewhere in your code or user data $subscription_id
= get_user_meta($this->user_ID, ’stripe_subscription_id’, true); // Check and delete
Paid Memberships Pro membership if (function_exists(’pmpro_getMembershipLevelForUser’)&&
function_exists(’pmpro_changeMembershipLevel’)) { $membership_level = pmpro_getMembershipLevelForUser(
$this->user_ID); if (!empty($membership_level)) { pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(false,
$this->user_ID, ’inactive’); // Change to ’expired’ if you want to expire the membership
immediately } } // Check and cancel the Stripe subscription if (!empty($subscription_id)){//
Cancel the Stripe subscription at the end of the billing period try { $stripe->subscriptions-
>update($subscription_id, [’cancel_at_period_end’ => false]); } catch (\Stripe\Exception\
ApiErrorException $e) { // Handle any errors that occur during the Stripe API call//
You might want to log the error or take appropriate action error_log(’Stripe API
Error: ’ . $e->getMessage()); } } // Cancel the PayPal subscription $paypal_subscription_id
= get_user_meta($this->user_ID, ’paypal_subscription_id’, true); if (!empty($paypal_subscription_id)){
try { $subscription = \PayPal\Api\Subscription::get($paypal_subscription_id, $paypal);
$subscription->cancel([], $paypal); } catch (\PayPal\Exception\PayPalConnectionException
$e) { error_log(’PayPal API Error: ’ . $e->getMessage()); } } p.s. PLEASE, keep
this plugin alive. Much appreciated!
### [Great and works what I expected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-and-works-what-i-expected/)
[Liang](https://profiles.wordpress.org/liang1216/) 27.11.2021
It did the job well.
### [Delete Me is a great plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-me-is-a-great-plugin/)
[alkerprivate](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alkerprivate/) 18.12.2020
Works as advertised. You can choose user roles, place a shortcode on any page. Account
and comments are deleted without problems. Warning messages and password prompts
appear. Faced some difficulties. Users who automatically log into the system via
social networks cannot enter a password, as they have never created one. There is
also a hyperlink in the profile to delete the account, but it does not work. Everything
else is good. Used in WordPress 5.6, PHP 7.4.7. Other plugins may contain user data.
Thanks a lot to the developer!
### [Great Plugin, Everyone Should Use It!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-everyone-should-use-it/)
[Jim](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jwmc/) 2.10.2020
I wish every website, company, organization, whatever, had an easy and obvious way
to completely delete your account. Yet it seems almost none do! This plug in empowers
your users to do that. It is dead simple to set up, and it is pretty intelligent
behind the scenes.
### [Working wonderfull](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-wonderfull/)
[hansheger](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hansheger/) 31.1.2020 1 reply
This plugin in does exactly what the discriptons tells. A big plus is the integrated
shortcode und the costumazation options. Just enough to modify everything you need.
