Export and Deletion should work for ALL users, not only for REGISTERED ones #195

As far as I see, export, rectification and deletion of user data only works for registered wordpress users. However, also unregistered users, i.e. those who only wrote comments, are entitled for data export and data deletion. If such a user asks e.g. for data export, the request currently is silently ignored.

For now, they can request it and the admin can manually process their requests in the dashboard. Automation right now is only available for registered users.

I'll get this reviewed when I get back from vacation.

OK, thanks for your fast reply. I requested export for a non registered, but commenting user and could not find a request in the admin's dashboard. Have a nice vacation!

This is one more reason for the RGPD plugin to use the WordPress Core functions for dealing with user data export and deletion.
