Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 23, 20231 yr Hi there, is there an option to delete topics after x days without reply? Thank you!
February 23, 20231 yr Solution 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.
February 23, 20231 yr Author Ist there perhaps a plugin for that? I have a forum with classifieds in it, and there it would make sense...
February 23, 20231 yr I have not seen one. But there is a Marketplace request forum... https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/506-requests/
February 27, 20231 yr 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).

February 27, 20231 yr 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!

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