It does not allow blog owners to delete their blogs. It works by doing that in 3 steps:- * Removes the delete Site link from tools menu for non network admins * Breaks out of wpmu_delete_blog function to avoid deletion of blog * hacks around option to avoid sending the delete confirmation mail to blog owner Need more details, please visit this post on [BuddyDev](http://buddydev.com/wordpress-multisite/introducing-disable-site-delete-plugin-for-wordpress-multisite-based-networks/) ## Screenshots * [[ * No Delete Menu for Non Network Administrator screenshot-1.png. * [[ * Here is the message shown to the blog owner if they somehow manage to open the link screenshot-2.png ## Installation 1.

Network Activate the plugin through the ‘My Sites->Network Admin->Plugins’ menu in WordPress Multisite 4. have fun! ## FAQ Does it completely removes the capability to delete blog for blog admins/owners That’s right. Only network administrator can delete a blog. How to localize Please look into the ‘languages’ directory of this plugin. you will find the po file. Just translate it and save there as your_locale.mo(e.f en_US.mo) Is there an alternative? Yes, there is a plugin by Ryan Hellyer [Delete Delete Site](https://wordpress.org/plugins/delete-delete-site/) but that only removes the menu link and does not actually prevent users from doing it completely(try typing the url and you will know what I mean).
