Hold the Esc key to get the option to permanently delete posts, pages, and other content, instead of moving them to the trash first.<\/div>\n

It can be quite annoying when you want to delete a post but it only has a Trash link. You then need to go into the trash to delete it for real. This plugin allows you to delete a post permanently by turning the trash links into a permanent delete link when you hold down the Esc key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n

Maybe Perma Delete<\/strong> adds a convenient way to permanently delete content directly from the admin without the risk of pressing it accidentally:<\/p>\n

  • Esc-hover in post tables<\/strong>: Hold the Esc key while hovering over the Trash action in post, page, or custom post type lists. The link will change to Delete permanently<\/strong> for that specific row.<\/li>\n
  • Esc-hover on the post edit screen<\/strong>: On the single post edit screen, hold Esc while hovering over the Move to Trash<\/strong> link to turn it into Delete permanently<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Bulk actions<\/strong>: The bulk actions dropdowns always include a Delete permanently<\/strong> option alongside the default Trash action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
