Delete all members on community without loss content !

[Marco Junior]

Hello everyone how are you ?

Then I have a small doubt, I need delete all (members on my community I have estimated 400 active members or more ) but this is BETA Game then now I need exclude all members for start the official database info

How to execute this with the best process ?

OBS: I can not loss my forums posts because have much guides of the my game !

I a search on here, and some topics have information of how execute this with manually mode member by member but this is very long time.

Pretty sure that if you perform an advanced search in the Members list, and then click on the 'Prune members found' link on the top of the results - the members are removed, but the content is kept behind as 'Guest'

Test it out with a single user (perform a search that will find that single user) to confirm, then try it with a search that will return 2 users to further confirm.

@Nathan Explosion thanks for this !
Work fine but I have a doubt, if a member of this list make an new account with the same e-mail ? I will get issue or no ?

You'll get a new account...

You deleted the member data so their email has been removed. It is a new account.

Is it possible to use a query to delete all members, member content except Admin user ? Because this solution didn't solve my complete problem.

You would not be able to do this using a query. There is more than just deleting a member record that goes on there, so I would not recommend even attempting it in this way

The best way to go about this is through a custom app that will handle the deletion properly. 

A word of advice, if I may, make first a backup of your database before you delete all the members. You never know when it might come in handy.

Always wise advise when performing any large mass action

But the custom app exists here ?

Believe what @Miss_B is suggesting is that you have one commissioned for your purpose. There is not one specifically for this purpose that I am aware of in the Marketplace.

Indeed. That is what I meant.
