Unable to delete all of a users posts 500 server error

Headless · February 15, 2023, 6:05pm

Whenever I attempt to delete all of a users posts (As this is what they wanted), they have about 9000 posts that have to be deleted. I understand this is not what I should be doing and I should anonymize the user. However, in my scenario I need to delete this users account, but before that I have to delete their posts. I tried looking up a sql to just delete the posts with the data explorer, but I could not find anything relating to this.

When I look in logs when I attempt to delete I get the following error, it seems to be a issue with the ratings plugin. Any help would be amazing.

Remove the plugin from the app.yml, rebuild and try again.

Is the plugin just broken? We still use the plugin, your saying I have to remove the plugin, rebuild, remove the posts, add it back, and rebuild again?

Having just failed to delete a spam user I can verify that the plugin is still broken.

That’s not much of a solution. I submitted an issue on the GitHub repository.
