Found this but it gives a foreach error, any help?
<?php
// Get 50 custom post types pages, set the number higher if is not slow.
$mycustomposts = get_pages( array( 'post_type' => 'name-of-post-type', 'number' => 50) );
foreach( $mycustomposts as $mypost ) {
// Delete's each post.
wp_delete_post( $mypost->ID, true);
// Set to False if you want to send them to Trash.
}
// 50 custom post types are being deleted everytime you refresh the page.?>
$args = array(
'numberposts' => 50,
'post_type' =>'your_post_type'
);
$posts = get_posts( $args );
if (is_array($posts)) {
foreach ($posts as $post) {
// what you want to do;
wp_delete_post( $post->ID, true);
echo "Deleted Post: ".$post->title."\r\n";
}
}
You should not actually do the wp_delete_post without verifying the data output found with get_posts is what you want,
you can do that with a var_dump($posts); after doing the get_posts

Thanks that did the job, what I wanted it for was to modify the CSV Importer plugin so that it deleted all existing posts first before importing the new ones as the plugin does not currently update existing just creates new. Not the most elegant of solutions but will do for now until I can find a solution for updating custom post types via CSV import.
