Delete member account
We need the ability to DELETE the entire FC and WP profile account to comply with regulations. FC has the ability for the user to deactivate their account but we need the ability to also completely remove all data from wp for this users account that they can manually delete via a button inside their profile... likely alongside the deactivate button. [Deactivate] [Delete]
I have tried plugins Delete Me and WP Delete User Accounts both of which do not work in FC.
Also how to modify the signup form to limit the data being captured so Im not requesting their Name? I only want username, email, password.
Or maybe the option could be configured in the code somehow to work like Meta's does with Facebook. Meaning, when you go to try and "DELETE" your Facebook account, you can't. You only have the option to "Deactivate" your account and if it stays deactivated for 14 days, then it will be deleted (or so they claim, but in reality it doesn't ever get deleted).
But, an option like this could be installed into FC I'm sure. With the only caveat being that if a Member of our Community's actually want their account deleted, they can "Deactivate" their account and our systems will actually, really, truthfully fully delete their entire user account in both FC and WP backend.
The deactivation option seems to me to be the best compromise between user freedom and platform security. Providing a self-service total deletion button could encourage impulsive behavior and would complicate the management of abuses, such as loop re-registrations. In my view, the request for permanent deletion should go through support. It would be a clear, archived procedure that would allow for a clean deletion by the administrator, ensuring compliance with regulations while protecting the integrity of the community.
Regarding the registration form, I favor simplicity: a username, an email, and a password. Asking for a name is often superfluous and can hinder sign-ups.
The real leverage would instead come from integrating FluentCommunity custom fields directly into the registration process. This should give the administrator the free choice to define, add, or remove fields as they see fit. These data points should then be automatically synced across the entire ecosystem (CRM, Support) to qualify the profile without weighing down the user experience.
Claudy Scoufy its not about compromise. Its a requirement of Gpdr and apple enforces it, that there is an easy option for users to delete their profile and data. It needs to be implemented.
I agree with the registration form being minimal and adjustable.
