caution when deleting users

    A client experienced this today and I thought I would pass it along.

    When a user is deleted from the Staff > Members screen, any/all associated content (image uploads, pages, posts, etc.) will also be deleted.

    While there is a warning that you are deleting the user, unlike the normal WP user deletion, there is no “Would you like to associate this content with someone else” step before anything is permanently removed.

    So if you remove a user from this profile plugin, expect that all of their pages/posts/images/etc. will also vanish too.

    Personally, I would call this a big oversight, or at a minimum, a bug that needs investigation.
