Ok, so I see NopCommerce Creates a guest for like each page view or something. Im not sure what the reason is. But how do I automate deleting them?
Customer records are created for each new (unique) visitor. But they are periodically deleted by the system (schedule tasks). So no worries here.

I am trying to evaluate the possibility of creating a plugin for Parent/Child functionality in Wordpress user creation.
What we need to achieve is to allow a Parent to create a sub-user account for his children. This accounts will have limited access but that can be done later with other Wordpress plugins.
What does not exist right now or what I was unable to find, is a plugin which gives the possibility to an existent standard user, to create sub-accounts related to him.
I do not want anything particular except the association between the accounts. The main user should have the possibility of adding or removing his child accounts.
Do you think this is something that is ok to do? Does it open us to any hacking possibility or vulnerability or create problems in the future?
If not, what would be in your opinion the best way to proceed and do this? What would be the best, fastest and most secure flow of operations?
Looking forward to your opinions.
Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old post but here's an option for anyone searching for this in the future.
First, you need to register a new user role. When you register the role, you are free to assign any capability you want. In this case, give the new role the capability to add users.
Then you can create a one-to-many relationship between the new user role and the standard subscriber role. So the new user role can have many subscribers but a subscriber can only belong to one new user role.
This will do what you want. There are several plugins that can do this if you are not comfortable with coding which seems the case per the OP's question. You can try PODS which is free and available in the Wordpress Plugin Directory - https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/.
I know that there will be a database to be created at the initial configuration of CF7. I am wondering whether or not I can use a different database of my own (not the wordpress' database) in PHPMyAdmin, and is there an existing tutorial to do so?
Thank you.
That could have some serious unintended consequences. You'd be better off putting a hook in your submission to ALSO add the data to some other database.
The reason is that plugins are quite integrated and there are many things that it tracks at once including things related to the user who submits the form. If you orphan some of those records, it might be difficult to reconstruct things, build reports, and do other sorts of maintenance later.
I'm looking for a way to have users register on a multisite setup and have a blog automatically created for them... no, not the way the standard ms registration system handles it. I want to get rid of the second step in the process completely. They register as 'user', and a blog is automatically created at http://my.site.com/user for them.
Followup question... anyone know of a way of automatically pruning the multisite platform? IE, users who don't login for 'x' timeframe (or after a certain time period has elapsed) automatically have their site deleted.
Just make one pure copy of Wordpress files and database layout just after wordpress instalation. When you will have it, after user complete registration just copy files from original directory like "_original_wordpress" to "username_dir", and create new database or just add tables with username_ prefix in them. Also you have to cofigure config.php or whatever there is in wordpress that contains database data.
As for 2nd problem - use CRON. Write script in PHP that lists all users who was last active before month ago, delete tables from database in MySQL and dir "/username/" and it's gone :) And so that it would be executed regulary, just put it in CRON like every day once?
Well thats just one of the way to solve any of your problems but it look very simple.
What is the use of sessions table in drupal?
Sometimes this table is crashed, Can anyone please tell me the reason it is crashed?
The sessions table keeps track of user sessions on your site. This table should have an entry for every user that's logged in to your site. Some users may even have more than one session entry if they're logged in from different devices or even different browsers.
You can select the table and 'repair' it from your phpMyAdmin interface, or as a last resort manually empty it, but that will log out all users from your site. I hope this helps...
It's hard to know why it's crashing, but if it's happening very frequently, it sounds like a module you have installed may be causing problems. I'm assuming you haven't modified any code in Drupal core.
I've been assigned to add some features to an existing newspaper. This newspaper is based on Wordpress. They want to add a subscription feature for subscribed users to receive email with the latest news and some other stuff.
They also want a coupon system, which I'm planning to implement using CouponPress (http://www.couponpress.com/) which is a separate Wordpress installation for coupons.
They want to keep the subscribers functionality completely separated from the main blog to avoid opening security holes for attackers to gain admin or editor roles and mess with the newspaper.
What do you recommend for this?
If I keep the subscription feature attached to the second blog, is there a plugin or something to automatically email the subscriptors of the second blog with latest entries, a daily or weekly? I want the second blog to look as part of the first one for users. Maybe replicating the user list somehow in the main blog, but avoiding sign in on it.
What do you think?
Thanks for your help
just throwing an idea for the subscription feature, if you do go the path of subscription to the other blog you can write some quick and dirty function to query the new or even an sql trigger to copy new user recordds to the other db (I don't know if mysql allows for inter db copy triggers)
but - I don't really know what'll you'll achieve that way. if the data isn't secure and sanitized someone could try to run an sql injection. and then copying the record to the other db would contaminate it either.
better use on of wordpress good security plugins, harden server access etc
