Active customers have been deleted
-
Hello !
I have a problem about some customers in Woocommerce. It seems some have been deleted by the plugin. We first thought it was caused by the Personal data retention settings that were configured to deleted inactive users after 1 year.
However, when looking at the list of customers, we noticed that some were last active in February 2023 and ordered from the shop. So they normally shouldn’t have been deleted !As you can see in the capture, they appear as [deleted][deleted].
Strangely enough, we still can find them in the WooCommerce report client list and also in the WordPress account list.
They can log and order, but they still does appear as deleted in WooCommerce.
What is happening ? Can we get these customers back in the list ?
Thank you for your help !

And here’s the fatal error logs in case.
I don’t think the errors are related to what’s going on right now because they happened when we set up new payment features.
About the client “duguey” I showed in my previous message, it seems two of their orders have been deleted by the 1 year maximum rule. But it shouldn’t have erased their personal data at the same time, it does not make sense.
Anyway, thank you for your help ! I’m still digging to see if I find more…Hello @leataurine,
Thank you for sharing the report.
I noticed you’re using an outdated version of WooCommerce. Please check this guide on updating WooCommerce safely.About the client “duguey” I showed in my previous message, it seems two of their orders have been deleted by the 1 year maximum rule. But it shouldn’t have erased their personal data at the same time, it does not make sense.
May I ask if the retention rule was applied “Inactive accounts” or “Completed” orders?
With Inactive accounts, the whole customer will be deleted.
Look forward to hearing back from you.Hello @babylon1999 ,
I’ll check with my coworker who’s in charge of the website as soon as possible so we can safely update WC indeed.
The retention rule was set to 1 year for all the options (so the inactive account as well as the completed orders). But this customer has been active and ordered several times these last months, so they shouldn’t have been deleted by the inactive accounts rule.

Let us know how that goes!

Hi,
Here’s the screenshot:
As I previously said, the retention rule was set to 1 year for all the different options and as soon as we noticed the problem, we changed that to ND or N/A- This reply was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by leataurine.
Hi @leataurine
Thanks for your confirmation here. However, can you please re-share the screenshot as the link is inaccessible?

Hello !
Oh okay, it does work where I am, but here’s another link : https://snipboard.io/CEhuA9.jpg
I hope it’s better ??Hi,
when looking at the list of customers, we noticed that some were last active in February 2023 and ordered from the shop. So they normally shouldn’t have been deleted !
This is odd, can you temporarily switch the site’s theme to Storefront, and disable all plugins except WooCommerce? Then please check if this alternative solution works for you?
You can use the Meks Quick Plugin Disabler, this plugin will help you to remember what plugins you currently have active, so it’s easy to switch them back on.
You can ask your web host to see if there is a backup available previous to the deletion, to try to recover the data.
Let us know how that goes.
Hi @leataurine ,
We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – we’ll be here if you need any further help with this.
Cheers!
