Background of the issue:
I need to delete all glossary items from my site hidden link. The plugin interface only allows me to delete them one at a time, and there are about 10,000 items. I tried creating a new development domain hoping the glossary would not be there, but the items were still present. I have no choice but to ask your technical team to delete all glossary items assigned to this account. It would also be great if I could do it myself if necessary.
Symptoms:
The plugin interface only allows deleting glossary items one at a time, which is not feasible for 10,000 items.
Questions:
How can I delete all glossary items at once in WPML? If I can't do it, then your team might need to do it.
Is there a way to manage or delete multiple glossary items efficiently?
I apologize for the delay; it was the weekend, and there were fewer people available to assist during that time.
I wanted to ensure that I double-checked with our team first so I could provide you with an accurate answer.
Currently, there is no option to bulk-delete glossary items. This feature has been added to our request list, but I cannot say when it will be implemented.
The timing of when our developers will release an update that includes this feature is not something we, as supporters, can determine.
Rest assured, each issue reported and every feature request is taken seriously. They are evaluated based on a variety of factors, and those who have a comprehensive view of all related matters are best positioned to prioritize them accordingly.
Our team independently created a script yesterday that deletes items. It does it one by one, however it is much faster than a human does it. Unfortunately the problem of unsuccessful import of CSV file, which led to such a task as described above and lack of bulk deletion had serious consequences. In the future such functionality seems to me obviously necessary.
If someone faces the same problem - we recommend to consider the option with Node + Selenium.
