You can also disable the Delete Own Account button using this hook code in Code Snippets plugin or directly in your child theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('wpforo_can_user_self_delete', '__return_false' );

You can use the CSS code below: 

 #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-profile .wpforo-user-tools span.wpf-ab-delete {display:none}

 

Insert the code in the Custom CSS code textarea located in the following tab: 

For the Single Board Forum:

  • Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles

Multi-Boards Forum:

  • Dashboard >  > Settings > Colors & Styles tab
  • Dashboard >  > Settings > Colors & Styles tab

For example:

  • Dashboard > EN Forum > Settings > Colors & Styles tab
  • Dashboard > FR Forum > Settings > Colors & Styles tab

 

Thank you, I actually ended up using css before I created this post, so, my concern is why is CSS is the only option for something this important? If you consider nearly every other forum or social plugin, very few, if any allow users to delete their own account by default. Shouldn't this be a toggle somewhere within the admin area?

They now regret doing it, and it seems there's nothing I can do since their entire account was deleted without my knowledge as Admin. I honestly had no idea that this was even turned on by default for users. I think this shouldn't be turned on by default for users, for this very reason. I can't seem to find anything in the settings to disable this. What's the best way to do this?
