I revised the plugin to perform deletes by userid. You can enter an ID and it will delete that user’s posts. I needed this feature myself and so I modified the plugin. You can copy/paste the code in the ‘wp-mass-delete.php’ file. I’m sure there is a better way to contribute this but I don’t have time right now
