Title: How to delete 8916 pages of spam users.

Even with my registration turned off, hackers managed to register 8916 pages of users yesterday. I have upgraded the gallery today to the latest version. How do I do a mass delete, instead of one page at a time for almost 9000 pages?

If you want to delete all users is very simple.
Let me know if you want to delete all users and keep only you (the admin users).

Open your_gallery_folder/include/init.inc.php and paste at the end after }

Code Select

cpg_db_query("DELETE FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_USERS']} WHERE user_group = '2' AND user_regdate < NOW() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR");

then refresh users page

You shoul have all users delete but not the admin and users registred in the last hour.

Go back to init.inc.php and delete the code.
