Can't unarchive topic?

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.

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.

Anything outside of that setting will be unarchived

I have disabled archiving last Thursday. Old posts are still archived. Any idea why they weren't unarchived? Thanks!

It can take quite some time, as it runs with traffic on your site, and is intentionally a gradual background process. 

The topics are still not unarchived. 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.

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.

Seems like unarchiving stopped at around Feb 1 2018. No new topics have been unarchived since October 2023. 

Archiving is disabled in my ACP.

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".

I have made a change there. Please let us know if thats not making any difference in a few days

That worked, and all my topics are now unarchived. Thank you!
