## Description

DevnDespro SafeDelete helps you understand which content may be affected before 
deleting a WordPress page.

When you move a page to Trash, SafeDelete checks other posts and pages for direct
links to that page. It shows the results in a review window so you can make a more
informed decision.

Features include:

 * Review references before moving a page to Trash.
 * Check multiple selected pages before bulk deletion.
 * See which posts and pages contain direct links to the selected page.
 * View risk levels based on the number of references found.
 * Open referencing content for review.
 * Cancel deletion without changing your content.

SafeDelete currently checks direct permalink matches in WordPress post content. 
It does not detect every type of link or dependency.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate DevnDespro SafeDelete.
 3. Open Pages > All Pages.
 4. Select Trash on a page, or use the bulk Move to Trash action.
 5. Review the results before confirming.
