Delete Category - Plugixa Inventory for WordPress

Delete Category - Plugixa Inventory

DELETE /plugixa-inventory/v1/categories/{id}

Move a category to the trash. It can be brought back with Restore Category.

The user needs the plugixa_inventory_delete capability (administrators have every inventory capability). With Pro Roles and permissions enforcing, their role must also allow deleting this category.

Note. Trashing a category does not check whether items still use it. They keep its id in category_id.

Request

DELETE https://your-site.example/wp-json/plugixa-inventory/v1/categories/3

Path parameters

Name	Type	Description
`id`	`integer`	The category’s id

Responses

`200` OK. The category is in the trash.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {

From now on it is left out of lists and single reads, and appears in List Categories with view=trash.

Errors

Plus the errors every endpoint can return.
