Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
David N. Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Hello, I am trying to unarchive a topic. I clicked the Moderation Actions drop down and chose "Unarchive". The topic still shows as archived. Now "Unarchive" is no longer displayed in the drop down. Edited February 2, 2023 by David N.
Solution David N. Posted February 2, 2023 Author Solution Posted February 2, 2023 Never mind, it ended up working! I suppose it takes about a minute. SeNioR- 1
Daniel F Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Yes, it can take some time. Unarchiving a topic will only flag it for unarchiving, the real unarchiving happens via a background task in the background. David N. and SeNioR- 2
David N. Posted February 2, 2023 Author Posted February 2, 2023 Great, thanks Daniel. Is there a way for me to unarchive all the archived topics? I didn't realize that moving to the Cloud would archive all those topics and I surely still want them showing up in search results. The user guide states that archiving "is a power-user option designed for communities with millions of posts and a long history" — my community is only 140k topics and 850k posts.
Marc Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 You can adjust archive settings from Community>Forum>Settings>Archiving. Anything outside of that setting will be unarchived David N. 1

Marc Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 It can take quite some time, as it runs with traffic on your site, and is intentionally a gradual background process. David N. 1
David N. Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 Is it normal that it isn't listed in my background processes in my ACP?

Marc Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Indeed those are not the same thing. They wont show up in the queue David N. 1

I suppose I must have a wrong setting somewhere? This process can take some time, especially if there is a large amount of records to go. The background tasks purposely takes it's time not to cause any inadvertent issues on your community. However, if you would like to provide the URL to the topic, we can verify what is happening.

David N. Posted February 21, 2023 Author Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) It seems that anything around 2017 and older is still archived:Â https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/forum/1-logic-pro/page/830/ Edited February 21, 2023 by David N.
Jim M Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I am not seeing any errors when processing through the unarchives manually. It looks like these items are slowly unarchiving based off of going forward a few pages. Due to the amount of topics it is unarchiving, this can take some time. David N. 1
David N. Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 (edited) Seems like unarchiving stopped at around Feb 1 2018. No new topics have been unarchived since October 2023. Archiving is disabled in my ACP. Edited February 20 by David N.
Marc Posted February 20 Posted February 20 If you disabled, did you click to unarchive? Otherwise it will just sit there
David N. Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 40 minutes ago, Marc Stridgen said: If you disabled, did you click to unarchive? Otherwise it will just sit there  Sorry I was mistaken. Actually "Disable archiving" is not selected - however archiving is set to archive "where last post More than 12 years ago".Â
Marc Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I have made a change there. Please let us know if thats not making any difference in a few days  David N. 1
