I have Broadcast installed on a network site and have successfully broadcasted multiple core posts to child sites with no issues. When I try to use the Bulk Actions > Broadcast > Delete Children or Trash Children, the child posts are not processed as expected. I have run through these steps multiple time with the same results.

I have enabled debugging and have included the browser-based notices below.

When clicking on the Maintenance tab > Broadcast data link in the Network settings, the following notice is displayed: The broadcast data table is missing the ID column. It should now have been created. Please rerun the test. If the test fails, then something is wrong with the database. Is this expected or is there something wrong with the installation? I have tried running these tests with our custom theme and Twenty Twenty Four. Both have the same issues.

When I trash individual posts on the child sites that were broadcasted with debugging on, the following is returned in the admin panel:

We then use a simple link to allow users to delete their own posts:

<a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this scanner?')" class="btn btn-outline-danger w-100" href="<?php echo get_delete_post_link( $post->ID ) ?>">Delete Custom Scanner</a>

Unfortunately, this only works for admins. For any other users, it redirects to the home page without deleting the post.

Does anyone know what is incorrect here? Thank you!

Does anyone know why this could be happening?

The website uses the Avada theme. Some plugins that are active include: Link Whisper Free, Rank Math SEO, Search & Filter Pro, Smart WooCommerce Search, Yoast Duplicate Post. The search plugins are not being used for the affected search bar.

But, I received this message from my host:

Composer detected issues in your platform:

Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.3.0". You are running 7.2.34.

PHP Fatal error:  Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.3.0". You are running 7.2.34. in /var/www/vhosts/domainName/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/delete-duplicate-posts/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

PHP version of the server is 7.4.25

Is there a way to resolve it?

Now, I want to be able to write a command in SQL to say,

Delete All Pages if their urls DO **NOT** conian one of these slugs ([an array of slugs])

For example.. I want to keep pages which have this part of their url […mydomain…] + “/england/gl/recruitment-agency/” + […another part of the url…]

This is one slug I want to keep, but I have about 40 of them.

Other pages which don’t contain those slugs they should be removed.

So, what is the command that will do the job for me?

I really appreciate any help or hints as my websites crashing down because of having too many pages.

Thank you in advance.
