Allows adding posts to a queue for bulk deletion at a later time. Useful for managing large numbers of posts.

== Description ==

Delayed Delete, developed by Crystal Green at the [Tidbits of Experience](https://www.tidbitsofexperience.com) mommy blog, is a WordPress plugin that provides a way to queue posts for bulk deletion. Instead of immediately deleting posts, you can add them to a delayed delete queue and delete them all at once when ready.

Features:

* Add posts to delayed delete queue via bulk actions in the Posts admin page.
* View queued posts in a dedicated admin submenu under Posts.
* Remove selected posts from the queue individually or in bulk.
* Export queue as a .txt file or display for copy/paste into your own file.
* Permanently delete all queued posts with a single button click.
* Security measures including nonces and capability checks.
* Internationalization ready.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `delayed-delete` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Go to Posts > Delayed Delete to use the feature.
