Delete any useless newly registered accounts on a daily schedule. 

== Description ==

If you have a lot of people (or bots) registering on your site that end up doing nothing with their account they may as well be deleted.
**AJdG User Cleaner** works on a daily schedule to check and delete unused accounts that registered 2 weeks before. This means that the new registrant has 2 weeks to do something with their account. Doing something means; post a comment, create a page or create a blogpost. 

Additionally **AJdG User Cleaner** supports WooCommerce and bbPress.
If the user creates an order in WooCommerce or a topic or reply in bbPress the account is not deleted.
If either WooCommerce or bbPress is not active those will not count towards deleting the users.

This works very simple, **AJdG User Cleaner** checks applicable accounts for the required activities.
The simplicity of the plugin also means that no warning or notification is given when deleting accounts.
Accounts are not placed in a trash bin. Deleting of accounts is permanent.

= Features =
* Daily delete unused accounts
* Check for user activity before deleting
* Sends an email to the administration email address with how many accounts were deleted that day
* Supports WooCommerce checks is the account has orders
* Supports bbPress checks if topics and replies are posted by the account

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I have other activities not covered by this plugin =
**AJdG User Cleaner** does not check for it. So the user may be deleted.

= How do I know the plugin works =
**AJdG User Cleaner** sends a email notification when the cycle is finished and users have been deleted.
Alternatively you can check your Users dashboard, if a bunch went 'missing'... Well, there you go.

= Will this delete administrator accounts? =
**AJdG User Cleaner** will never delete Administrator or Editor accounts.
All other accounts can be deleted.

= Can I recover deleted accounts? =
No, there is no trash bin or undo button.
The deleted user can of-course register a new account.

= Will this delete all user data? =
All associated meta data will be deleted using the official wp_delete_user() function.

= Where are the settings? =
This plugin has no settings and works silently in the background.

= Will this overload the site? =
Generally no. However, if you have many accounts, say 3000 or more, the first cycle of deletions may include many accounts.
This can slow down your site for a few seconds. After that, only the new accounts are checked.
As an example - when I first used this plugin on a real site it had about 7700 accounts. 2500+ got deleted, this took about 10 seconds.

= I've cleaned out old accounts but they are not deleted =
Simply de-activate and re-activate the plugin to start over.
Remember, this counts as a first run, so the first cycle may take a few seconds.
