Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Gabriel Torres Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Hi, How to delete all very old topics (e.g. more than 10 years old) with 0 replies from the whole community? Is there an option for that in the ACP? Thanks.
PPlanet Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't you be better archiving them (even to a separate database) rather than deleting them? I know this doesn't answer your question because even archiving doesn't have that option (it's just time based regardless of number of replies), but just in case you change your mind further down the track, as you can also unarchive them too. Cheers. Edited June 25, 2020 by PPlanet

Another way, would be to delete them with a sql query, although personally I would not recommend this.

I will hire the developer we use to create such plugin! Edited June 25, 2020 by Gabriel Torres Miss_B 1
