Update: I also just noticed that when I manually trigger the action, it only ever deletes 20 unverified users at a time. I can constantly replicate this.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for using our plugin. We really appreciate your support.
Any chance we can have an Unverified view in the users page like this mockup?
Sure! That’s a great feature request. Our developer agreed to implement this feature in our next update.
We have set a limit on each cron execution because there may be thousands of spam users, and it is not a good idea to delete all of them in a single execution.
You can schedule a server cron job to automatically delete unverified users, so you don’t have to run the cron manually.
For guidance, refer to this article – https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-missed-schedule
Start reading from “Set Up a Cron Command.”
Thanks, that’s great news about the unverified view.
I am aware of the existing function to schedule the cron to delete unverified users, and agree it would be problematic if it tried to delete too many at once.
But there could easily be a situation where the website is acquiring more spam registrations at a rate greater than the number of unverified registrations that are deleted when the cron action runs, which means you can never actually clean up all unverified registrations.
With this in mind, may I cheekily also suggest an option to let us specify how many are deleted when the cron action fires, and put a hard limit on the field so it can’t be abused. I realise this isn’t something casually implemented, so no worries if not possible. The new unverified view will still offer an easy way to bulk delete unverified registrations.
Thanks – love your work.
I forwarded your feedback to our developers, and they completely understand the logic behind your request. They’ve agreed to implement this feature in a future update!
Since our development team is currently focused on creating a Gutenberg block-based plugin called “Combo Blocks,” this update for the user verification plugin might take a few days to finalize.
I’ll be sure to follow up here as soon as the update with your requested feature is available.
Totally awesome! Take your time. We’ve all gone this long without the feature, waiting a bit longer won’t hurt.
Talk soon.
