Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Maybe Perma Delete

No. The default Move to Trash behavior remains available everywhere. Maybe Perma Delete only adds an additional way to permanently delete items when you explicitly choose it.

Yes, the plugin hooks into the standard admin post list and edit screens, so any custom post type that appears there will inherit the same behavior.

No. When you use Delete permanently, the content is hard-deleted from the database. Make sure you have backups if you need the ability to restore deleted content.

Yes, but it only makes sense when media trash is manually enabled in your WordPress configuration. By default, media files are permanently deleted already. To enable trash for media, add the following to your wp-config.php: define( 'MEDIA_TRASH', true ); Once enabled, media files will have a Trash action, and Maybe Perma Delete will work with them just like posts and pages.

No. The plugin only modifies admin-side delete options and JavaScript. It doesn’t change your front-end or theme output.
