Cannot delete >985 users

  • Ahoy,

    Thanks for the plugin.
    The title pretty much sums it up. Searching for inactive users (flag one without posts) works fine and lists ~20k users. Next, I mark all, and click delete all marked users->Yes, I really… OK-> ..very serious… 985 Users will be deleted.

    I take it the this is already hinted at by the “<small>PHP allows you sent only 1000 input vars.</small>” But still, why can I list 5k inactive users or even all 20k and also mark all of them but then only 985 are being deleted?
    Cheers

    I guess technically I can implement that. Currently some checks are made after main SQL request so that is why i implemented existing way. Another thing is that we can have new registrations during the process of confirmation and deletion, and program should know exactly what users are necessary to delete. But user’s ids list could be stored as, for example, JSON-encoded text in one single field. It has own limitation – a size of POST data. But usually it is enough big to keep the whole list.

    I will keep it in my mind on next development iteration as a good idea, thanks.
