Deleted user remains in the subscribers list

    If administrator deletes registered user, this deleted user remains in the subscribers list. The (uncomfortable) workaround is to unsubscribe the user before deletion.

    What is even worse: sometimes, email is verified after user registration and if this verification fails, user is automatically deleted (this is how plugin Register Plus Redux works). In this way subscribers list blows up (the subscribers which are not users anymore). To get rid of this unwanted subscribers is uncomfortable/dangerous. I use SQL:

    DELETE FROM wp_easymail_subscribers where email NOT IN (SELECT user_email FROM wp_users)

    I suggest to unsubscribe email after the user is deleted OR to add some button which would run “cleaning SQL” if amind needs it, without necessity to use phpMyAdmin.

    Hi swisst, I understand your point, but at the beginning the idea was to keep separated users and subscribers.
    In next version I think to add a plugin setting like “Delete subscriber if the original user is deleted”.
    In the meantime you can add this code in mu-plugins or functions.php to remove subscriber on user deletion:

    function my_easymail_on_delete_user( $user_id ) {
        $user_obj = get_userdata( $user_id );
        $email = $user_obj->user_email;

        if (  $subscriber_id = alo_em_is_subscriber( $email ) ) {
		alo_em_delete_subscriber_by_id( $subscriber_id );
	}
}
add_action( 'delete_user', 'my_easymail_on_delete_user' );
