Delete Category - Plugixa Testimonial for WordPress

Delete Category - Plugixa Testimonial

DELETE /plugixatestimonial/v1/categories/{id}

Delete a category for good. Its testimonials are kept and simply lose this category.

Any signed-in user with the plugixa_testimonial_delete capability or WordPress’s delete_others_posts (Editors and Administrators, by default).

Note. This is permanent, whatever the category’s status: trash is only a status, not a recycle bin. There is no existence check: an id that matches nothing still answers 200 with the success message, and nothing changes.
