  • From the post reply that's added? If so, remove the "%lock_time%" quick tag from the post template and it won't add a lock time. This plugin only uses the internal lock topic option, so any work

    Is there a way to retroactively lock all old posts over 14 days in a certain forum? Just downloaded and installed with settings to lock after 14 days of star but would be nice to lock all the old topi

Can you clarify what you mean? This already will lock topics x days that you can set in the auto lock topic settings.

Just replied to your PM.

Is it possible to move topics when they get locked?

No not currently, only locking the topic or adding a post reply.

I just purchased this plugin but doesn't seem to be auto locking any topics when created?

@Michael.J i bought this add-on today. Basic filters do not work

Can you try uninstalling and then re-installing again please? It looks like the template bit for the filters didn't get setup properly. Possibly try rebuilding the system cache as well in acp > system tab > get support > clear system cache.

@Michael.J after clearing the cache, it works 👍thanks, im going to test this add-on 🙂

@Michael.J i test script in one section where i have about 50 pages of topics to close. Has been closed 5 pages of topics in 4 hours. Why is it going so slowly?

It's set to lock 50 topics each time the task runs. You can manually increase this number until it's caught up if you want? Otherwise the task will just continue to run in the background until it's caught up with all the topics that need to be locked.

@Michael.J i understand. My suggestion is to add a value change option in admin panel. This should simplify matters

The only reason I want to avoid that is some people may set the value to high and overload some slower servers.

Do you need instructions to speed it up in your instance or can you just wait until it catches up?

@Michael.J i see. I dont need help, i can handle this myself. Thank you

I thought I released an update already but didn't get any notification from IPS. Will submit the IPB 4.7 update again.

Hello

Does this also works on topics in the Blogs?

I don't have access to the Blogs app and IPS don't allow developers access unless I purchase an app I wouldn't use.

But I'd probably say no unless I specifically added support for it.

Just discovered that after running the latest Invision update on March 7, our auto lock topic is not happening after (14) days as per the setting. Is anyone else running this having any probs since the latest update?

Any error logs or problems if you run the task manually?

Apologies for not updating here. The same day we updated, we also included an additional subforum for Auto Expire. It was my mistake and working as intended - it just had 10+ years of threads to work through. It caught back up eventually! 🙂
