David N. Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (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 by David N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David N. Posted February 2 Author Solution Share Posted February 2 Never mind, it ended up working! I suppose it takes about a minute. SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 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 Stridgen Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 You can adjust archive settings from Community>Forum>Settings>Archiving. Anything outside of that setting will be unarchived David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old posts are still archived. Any idea why they weren't unarchived? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It can take quite some time, as it runs with traffic on your site, and is intentionally a gradual background process. David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 (edited) It seems that anything around 2017 and older is still archived: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/forum/1-logic-pro/page/830/ Edited February 21 by David N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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.
