Merge Users

A WordPress admin-only tool to merge one user account into another, reassigning all content, WooCommerce orders, media, comments, CPTs, and entries in the wp_woocommerce_vod table.

Features

• Merge FROM → TO (source → destination).
• Reassigns:
  • Posts (including media)
  • WooCommerce orders
  • All custom post types
  • Comments
  • wp_woocommerce_vod access rows (with duplicate prevention)
• Select2-powered AJAX user search.
• Safety confirmation: must type MERGE in all caps.
• Optional deletion of the FROM user account after merging.
• Clear visual UI showing merge direction.
• Admin-only access (manage_options required).

VOD Table Support

If the table {prefix}woocommerce_vod exists, all rows with the source user’s user_id are moved to the destination user. If the destination user already has access to a product, duplicates are removed automatically.
