 * I would like to delete all the posts from a particular author using PHPAdmin,
   MYSQL command. How to do that ?
 * I have already tried from the wp-admin. It giving the error “Fatal error: Maximum
   execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/public_html/wp-includes/cache.
   php on line 314”. Its deleting only around 300 posts and timeout is happening.

 * i believe it’s better to delete it via admin panel. it help to sync all the data/
   post meta data. as you may know it, a wordpress post connected to post_meta and
   categories (in categories, a post connect to post count or something like that).
