Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Hi there, is there an option to delete topics after x days without reply? Thank you!
Solution Jim M Posted February 23, 2023 Solution Posted February 23, 2023 I'm afraid that there is not. Topics are generally permanent conversations, even those that are without replies and someone could respond in the future. However, if you have a use case, feel free to post this in our Feature Suggestion forum for review for further evaluation for a future release. SeNioR- 1
MaNiAc LRSC Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 Ist there perhaps a plugin for that? I have a forum with classifieds in it, and there it would make sense...
Randy Calvert Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I have not seen one. But there is a Marketplace request forum... https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/506-requests/
FabioPaz Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) If you are doing this because of SEO (removing thin/dead content), you can archive topics without replies. According to the devs, they are removed from the sitemap, etc... This is a native feature. Also, I think archived topics can be found by a specific table on the database, so, with a little search, you can manually remove them with a single sql query (please, backup first).

Daniel F Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Hang on hang on. It's NOT removed from the sitemap! Archived topics are removed from the internal search index and people can't reply, but they're not flagged as not indexable for search engines! Marc 1

I could swear I saw somewhere you can make the sitemap avoid archived topics.
