Parameter to Enable/Disable Trash on register_post_type();

[michael.ecklund]

It would be nice to have the ability to toggle on/off the "trash" feature on specific Post Types.

I figured, for extreme simplicity; A parameter could be specified during Post Type registration. Or perhaps factored into the "supports" parameter (similarly to revisions)

Thoughts?

There is no granular Trash disabling option, not even for Pages or Posts.

Almost by the time you posted this, ​there was a workaround in SO, using wp_trash_post action hook, you can simply force a full deletion without trashing before it gets to Trash. Technically, this satisfies the exact same purpose as EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS to 0 without having to deal with the Trash selectable menus and laser targeted to your specific CPT.

8 years have passed, and this has received 0 traction, so it doesn't seem to be a very solicited feature.

For all these reasons, I would rather opt for closing this as maybelater.
