Plugin / Delete Me

Installation

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 <?php echo do_shortcode( '[plugin_delete_me /]' ); ?>.
• 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. Alternatively, some language plugins (e.g. 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.
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.
