How to delete taxonomy term when a wordpress user is removed?

Question

i need to Delete wp_terms -> name field when a user is delete .

my requirement is admin needs to assign posts to specific users, that is admin need to add a post to user1 ,but user2 should not see that.for this i created a custom post and add taxonomy for that.And the terms are users Usernames .so i need to list the usernames of the users as terms in the taxonomy.when a new user is registered his username should updated in the wp_terms table also,so i will get the usernames as terms. this is working well ,now i need to delete the term from taxonomy when the user is removed.

i stucked here .please suggest some solution for this

what i have done is

add_action( 'delete_user', 'yg_user_delete', 10, 1 );

function yg_user_delete( $user_id ) {

$user_info = get_userdata($user_id); $user_name = $user_info->user_login;



wp_delete_term( $user_name, 'user1', array() );

}

here 'user1' is my taxonomy

Answer 1

Replace this with yours:

add_action( 'delete_user', 'yg_user_delete', 10, 1 );

function yg_user_delete( $user_id ) {

    $user_info = get_userdata($user_id); 
    $user_name = $user_info->user_login;

    print_r($user_info);

    wp_delete_term( get_term_by('name', $user_name, 'user1')->term_id, 'user1', array() );

}

If I understand well you have a custom_taxonomy and the terms slugs of it correspond to the usernames..in this case try

function yg_user_delete( $user_id ) {
  $user_info = get_userdata($user_id); 
  $user_name = $user_info->user_login;

  wp_delete_term(get_term_by('slug', $user_name)->term_id,'custom_taxonomy');
}
