 * I notice the post types don’t have the move to trash option.
 * Is there any suggested way to wipe out data that was done during testing.
 * Really would like to be able to build the site then when things are ready to 
   go live I would want to delete the test donations, funds, and donors altogether.

 * FYI to anyone here.
 * Easiest way I found was to use wp_delete_posts() and pass in the ids of the posts
   you want to delete.
 * Qucik and simple.

 * Just be real careful with that. There’s a lot of cross-indexing. I did a Delete
   Monster add-on that handles deletion, especially since there are so many cross-
   indexes:
 * See the video on Delete Monster to learn about the issues before you go into 
   the database and nuke posts:
