WP Delete User Accounts

Description

Allow your users (except for administrators) to manually delete their own accounts. It uses the Sweet Alert jQuery plugin for slick-looking alerts and prompts.

By default, this plugin adds a button to a user’s profile page in the wp-admin. You can also add a delete button to any page or post using the [wp_delete_user_accounts] shortcode.

NOTE: Delete buttons are not displayed when logged in as an administrator. This is done to protect against locking yourself out of your site. To see the delete button, you’ll need to log in with an account that does not have the administrator role.

For more technical info, including available hooks (actions and filters), please see the plugin’s readme file on Github.

Screenshots

  • “Delete My Account” button is shown on the edit-profile page, and can be displayed on the front-end via a shortcode.

  • Confirm account deletion prompt.

Edit – prompt repair of the plugin by the author and it is now fully functional on WordPress 5.8.1 Previously I gave one star because it wasn’t working: Doesn’t work on WordPress 5.8.1 I’ve tried it on 2 of my websites, it doesn’t place a delete button on Customer accounts

Hi there, just passing through and noticed a misspelling. In English the salutation is ‘Farewell’,or ‘Fare well’, not ‘Fair well’. Edit: On reading further I guess people can set their own messages referencing the other plugin you mention

It works very nice, does the job well and lightweight. Modification requires some CSS skills, there is no gui for this unfortunately.
