Hi,
I have a request form for my site: http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/requests, and it gets thousands of emails a week. They're easy to filter and delete in my mail client, but in Wordpress itself, I can only display 20 at a time, and delete them that way. The process is very long and tedious. Is there a quicker way to delete them from my forms entries page?
That is the only way to delete entries using visual tools.
There are ways to delete entries without using the standard delete tools...
- If you are fine with deleting ALL the entries you could EXPORT the form you want to delete the entries for using Export Forms under Import/Export which will generate an XML file of the form. Then delete that form, which will delete all the entries. Then IMPORT the form again from the XML file that was generated when you exported it.
- Delete the data directly in the database. You would have to delete it in the leads table and the leads detail table. I don't recommend this, you would really need to know what you are doing otherwise you could break something.
Awesome. Thank you. So, essentially, every week I'll have to re-import the settings and delete the old file. Ah. It's a rough workaround, but at least I didn't have to delete 15,000 entries 20 at a time :D
