Delete a WordPress user

1. Select the intended sites.
2. Open Choose action → Bulk tools → Users, then choose Delete user and reassign content or Delete user without reassignment.
3. Enter the exact Login, email or numeric ID. An email can avoid IDs identifying different people on different sites.

Choose reassignment when legitimate content must remain; inspect the recipient in each final result. Select the image to view it full size; use your browser’s Back command to return.

Without reassignment, associated content can be deleted. Check the exact account and preserve recovery copies before reviewing. Select the image to view it full size; use your browser’s Back command to return.

4. Select Review action, check the deletion choice and targets, then confirm. Inspect every result and resulting accounts.

With reassignment, content goes to an available administrator; a site without a suitable administrator can be skipped. Inspect the recipient instead of assuming it is the same person everywhere.

Without reassignment, associated content is deleted

WordPress deletion can remove the user’s associated content. Back up first, warn affected customers and do not depend on the trash as a complete recovery method. Reassignment preserves content but still removes the account; restore from backup if the wrong account was removed.

Command-line method

As root on the server hosting the sites, review /var/log/cpfenceav/wp-sites-list.txt first. These commands use its listed installations, not checked WebUI rows. Identify the exact account on each site; an email is usually safer than a numeric ID shared by different people on different installations.

For an interactive task, choose one command and enter the identifier when prompted:

Choice	Command
Delete and reassign content	cpfence --bulk-delete-wp-user-reassign
Delete without reassignment	cpfence --bulk-delete-wp-user

Check the inventory and deletion warning before confirming. Back up first and tell affected customers what will happen.

Delete and reassign content

For a reviewed non-interactive job:

cpfence --bulk-delete-wp-user-reassign-auto [email protected]

Replace the example email with the confirmed account. This skips confirmation, removes the account and requests reassignment to the first available administrator on each site. Review the recipient and every final result; a site without an administrator can be skipped. Use user reports to check the remaining accounts.

Delete without reassignment

Only use this when the account and its associated content should be removed:

cpfence --bulk-delete-wp-user-auto [email protected]

This also skips confirmation and can permanently delete associated content. Check the exact email, site list and usable backups before running it. If the wrong account was removed, recover from backup rather than assuming WordPress trash can restore everything.
