You are awesome Ravi, thanks a lot

Hi Brajesh

I finally got it to work with this code, kindly review

I really think this would help with buddyblog when multiple authors delete their account, lots of 404 errors would be prevented

Also note that the ghostwriter account is just a non active account used to preserve useful content from deleted accounts.

 function reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter($user_id) {
    // Check if the deleted user is not the target user (466526)
    if ($user_id !== 466526) {
        $args = array(
            'post_type'      => 'post',
            'author'         => $user_id, // Posts authored by the deleted user
            'posts_per_page' => -1,       // Get all posts
            'fields'         => 'ids',    // Retrieve only post IDs
            'post_status'    => 'publish',// Only published posts
        );
        $posts = get_posts($args);
        // Reassign published posts to user with ID 466526
        foreach ($posts as $post_id) {
            $post_status = get_post_status($post_id);
            if ($post_status === 'publish') {
                wp_update_post(array(
                    'ID'          => $post_id,
                    'post_author' => 466526,
                ));
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action('bp_core_pre_delete_account', 'reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter', 10, 1);
 

Will this code work

Hello Brajesh

Have you been able to test this plugin and see how if affects buddypress performance

Thanks

This code seemed to work

 // Disable new user registration email in WordPress for admin users only
function disable_send_new_user_notifications($user_id, $notify = 'user') {
    // Check if user role is administrator
    $user_role = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_capabilities', true);
    if (isset($user_role['administrator'])) {
        // User is an administrator, skip sending notification
        return;
    }

    if (empty($notify) || 'admin' === $notify) {
        return;
    } elseif ('both' === $notify) {
        // Send new users the email but not the admin.
        $notify = 'user';
    }
    wp_send_new_user_notifications($user_id, $notify);
}

// Disable default email notifications
add_action('init', function () {
    remove_action('register_new_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications');
    remove_action('edit_user_created_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications');

    remove_action('bp_core_activated_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications');

    // For WooCommerce

});

// Replace default notifications with custom function
add_action('register_new_user', 'disable_send_new_user_notifications');
add_action('edit_user_created_user', 'disable_send_new_user_notifications', 10, 2);
