Question Cannot remove users in Kunena

HI

I have the same problem,

How can I delete the user and the users posts, I dont want to delete the topic,

I got a 'live spammer' they did everything legally and then posted rubbish...

I need to get rid of them and their posts, but not the whole posts just their replies.

thanks

Actually that's a different problem to the one under discussion. This is a "how do I eliminate a nuisance user and their rubbish?" problem not a "what are the mechanics for synchronising the Kunena user table with the Joomla user table" problem.

Unfortunately, there's no quick solution. Kunena doesn't have a simple "spam begone" button. Wouldn't that be a cool feature, eh? No, what you'll have to do is do it the hard way. Delete the user as you normally would do (or disable their ability to login at the very least). Then, one by one, delete each of their offending messages from the forums. That's the only suggestion I think that will work.

The first suggestion is to do what Lintzy suggested in #6562 . Do you require more help on how to use the function?

I have syncronized the user list with joomla several times, and deleted users dissapears from from the Kunena user list, but leaves a gap with only the id number left.

G'day

I'm sorry the synch users tool didn't help. Before we start looking at a possible data/index integrity issue with the Kunena users table (and I don't know whether it would be safe to empty the table and attempt to synch it against the Joomla users table) :ohmy: , would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot that shows the gap you're referring to?

Thanks

Hi again,
and thanks for a very quick reply.

Here's a picture of the problem. I 've highlighted the gaps.

Thank you. And you can confirm that users with IDs 63 and 74 don't exist in the Joomla User Manager?
