Bulk Delete

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

100 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 63 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   Me vino genial para borrar las 7000 entradas que generó un hackeo. El inconveniente es que tienes que tener un buen server porque si no se queda frito.

   I have more than 31k users, and some of them must be spammer, so i tried this plugin, tried to delete some users with no “woocommerce order”. The result is 0 deleted user. i’ll rate 5 stars if this feature work.

   Paid for the premium version but the plugin simply wouldn’t delete the WooCommerce Orders and Subscriptions so we decided to ask for a refund. It took them 6 days to reply to our original refund request. We haven’t heard from them in two weeks and still don’t have a refund. They’ve ignored our last three follow-up emails. Smells like more of a scam than anything else.
