WordPress “Delete Post Link”
February 16th, 2011 at 11:41am Jason 270 views
This WordPress codes for the user to delete posts when browsing the front-end of the site. It will also show a pop-up confirmation box to appear before deleting the post. So here it is:
» a link to delete (or “trash”) a post from the front-end
» shows only if the user is logged in and has the capability to delete that post
» shows a confirmation pop-up box
» if confirmed, post is trashed and page is refreshed
The following goes in the theme’s functions.php file:
function wp_delete_post_link($link = 'Delete This', $before = '', $after = '') { global $post; if ( $post->post_type == 'page' ) { if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_page', $post->ID ) ) return; } else { if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID ) ) return; } $message = "Are your sure you want to delete ".get_the_title($post->ID)." ?"; $delLink = wp_nonce_url( get_bloginfo('wpurl') . "/wp-admin/post.php?action=delete&post=" . $post->ID, 'delete-post_' . $post->ID); $link = "<a href='" . $delLink . "' onclick = \"if ( confirm('".$message."' ) ) { execute(); return true; } return false;\"/>".$link."</a>"; echo $before . $link . $after; }
Then use the following template tag wherever you want it to appear in your theme.
<?php wp_delete_post_link('trash', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

This works great with confirmation,
but if I navigate to single post, like
http://localhost/someblog/2011/09/02/delete-me/
after the post is deleted , and page gets refreshed saying
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
http://localhost/someblog/2011/09/02/delete-me/?deleted=1
Any idea?
