Profile Delete Form

Profile Delete Form

Renders a button that lets the currently logged-in user delete their own account after a confirmation popup.

Deletion is permanent

A confirmed deletion removes the account immediately via WordPress's standard user deletion. Content authored by the user is not reassigned.

Usage

Self-service account removal — Give users a way to delete their account without contacting support, commonly required for privacy compliance. See How to Let Users Delete Their Account.

How it works

Situation	Behaviour
User clicks the delete button	A confirmation popup appears; nothing changes yet.
User cancels	The popup closes; the account is untouched.
User confirms	The account is deleted, the completion message shows, then the configured after-deletion behaviour runs.
Request fails its security check or no user is logged in	The request is rejected and no deletion occurs.
