  1. Your assistant finds the matching page and shows its title and address.
  2. After your confirmation, it moves that exact page to the WordPress Trash.
  3. It reports the result. The page is no longer published.
  • “Move the post ‘Outdated announcement’ to the Trash after showing me which one you found.”
  • If more than one page matches, select the exact page before confirming.
  • Links to the deleted page may stop working. Ask for a redirect separately if needed.
  • Your connected user needs permission to delete the page. At Standard, the change also requires approval in WordPress.
  • This recipe does not empty the Trash. WordPress may permanently delete trashed items later, according to your site’s settings.
