Key Features:

• Flexible Date Filtering: Filter exports and deletions by a specific date (before/after) or a date range.
• Bulk Delete Posts: Securely delete posts in bulk based on post type and date filters.
• Bulk Delete Users: Securely delete users in bulk based on their role and registration date.
• Safety First: All bulk actions feature a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental clicks.
