Email Alert When a User Account Is Deleted
Emails the site admin when any user account is deleted, including who deleted it and whether their content was reassigned, so removals never go unnoticed.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
add_action( 'delete_user', function ( $user_id, $reassign = null ) {
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
$actor = wp_get_current_user();
if ( ! $user ) {
return;
}
$reassigned = $reassign ? get_userdata( (int) $reassign ) : false;
wp_mail(
get_option( 'admin_email' ),
sprintf( '[%s] User deleted: %s', wp_specialchars_decode( get_bloginfo( 'name' ), ENT_QUOTES ), $user->user_login ),
sprintf(
"The account %s <%s> (%s) was deleted by %s on %s.\nContent: %s",
$user->user_login,
$user->user_email,
implode( ', ', (array) $user->roles ),
$actor->exists() ? $actor->user_login : 'an automated process',
wp_date( 'Y-m-d H:i' ),
$reassigned ? 'reassigned to ' . $reassigned->user_login : 'deleted with the account'
)
);
}, 10, 2 );Notes
Works for single sites; on multisite network user deletions use a different hook.
