And in response to Stephen, the “author” role does not have the capability to delete posts by default. You would need to add this capability to the author role if you wanted authors to be able to use this function. You can modify role capabilities via various plugins like Capability Manager.

Hi Guys, I modded the code to allow for custom post types and roles other than admin. I also added a trashed post handler to allow for redirect after the post is trashed if not in the admin area. Let me know if you find any bugs in the code, thanks!

Great bit of code!

I’ve been able to get it to work with the administrator role, but for some reason, the author role fails to trash the item. Rather than sending the post to the trash, I am forwarded to a ‘page not found’ page.

Any assistance appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi All–sorry for my absence from this thread. I was working my way out of a heavy workload. Regarding custom post types, I believe the problem comes from this line:

if ( $post->post_type == 'page' )

You want change ‘page’ to your custom post type or remove that if statement all together. I haven’t tested it, so maybe someone can fiddle around with it and report back with their code. Thanks!

As per Per’s comments above, this doesn’t work with Custom Post Types…any idea what might need to be done to get it to do so?

Hey I resolved the above redirection problem;
just add

//wp_redirect( add_query_arg('deleted', 1, $sendback) );
  wp_redirect( add_query_arg('deleted', 1, get_bloginfo('wpurl') ) );

in wp-admin/post.php near line# 260

case 'delete': // section

Resolve :0

But thanks for this post once again!

Hi,

How can I edit this so it also allows non registered users to delete posts?

Thanks

As above

“Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again” too … “Please try again” takes me back to previous page (the page from where I tried to delete)

Any update. as it appears you’re nearly there.
