Ok as I stated above.. after being burned by a client that locked me out of their WordPress website after I completed a job... I wished I had a way to remove the work I had completed. I did a small amount of research and put together the following code... I am passing this on to everyone here incase they find the need for such a script...
It may not be perfect but it works!
#1) Save this file as delete.php in the root directory of the WordPress website.
#2) Change the DeleteDatabasePassword to your password
#3) Change the DeleteFilePassword to your password
#4) Set Desired Directory to Delete
Code:
<!-- Use at your own risk! Created for those sole purpose of protecting Wordpress Web Designers from non paying clients! -->
<?php include("wp-config.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action='delete.php' method='post'>
Password:
<input type='password' name='pass'>
<input type='submit' value='Check'>
</form>
<?php
// lets start with PHP coding
// this variable is anyting you enter in password
$pass=$_POST['pass'];
// authenticate password
// Set DeleteDatabasePassword to the Desired Password Below
if (($pass=="DeleteDatabasePassword"))
{
$conn = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if(! $conn )
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully<br />';
$sql = 'DROP DATABASE '.DB_NAME;
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval )
{
die('Could not delete database: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($conn);
echo "Database Deleted!";
}
// Set DeleteFilesPassword to the Desired Password Below
elseif (($pass=="DeleteFilesPassword"))
{
function recursiveDelete($dir, $removeRoot=false) {
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir), RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);
foreach ($iterator as $path) {
if ($path->isDir()) {
rmdir($path->__toString());
} else {
unlink($path->__toString());
}
}
if ($removeRoot) {
rmdir($dir);
}
}
// Set the name of the director you want to delete
$dir = dirname(__FILE__).'/wp-content/themes/';
// delete root dir in this example by setting second argument to true
recursiveDelete($dir, false);
echo "Files Deleted!";
}
else echo "Access Denied!";
//close php
?>
</body>
</html>
