Some 'Promoted Items' Stuck - OK to Delete Directly from Db?

I've a couple of 'Promoted Items' that aren't showing up in the 'Manage Promoted Items' section of my Admin Settings – so I can't delete them. Others I can but a couple seem to be stuck as they don't show up on the 'Manage' list. (Don't know why, but there you go.)

My question is:

If I delete the entries directly in the database (via table: _core_social_promote) – will it crash/cause errors on my site?

Many thanks from any who know.

We do not recommend running manual queries on your database, nor do we support it. All I can say is that if you do choose to run them, make sure you take a full backup of your environment.

If you can point me to the records which you cannot delete, we can review and see if this is a bug or manually resolve it for you.

Please provide a link to the items which are stuck in promotion. Unfortunately, we do not know your community like you do so will need the direct URL(s).

Thank you. Understood.

Both stuck Promoted Items are pointing to the same URL now provided in my account details as requested.

I just wanted to say that the Invision Community team have been extremely responsive with my issue.

I've now resolved it through their guidance and a longer term fix is in plan.

Thank you.

Just popping back to see if there was any news on when the fix might be implemented. 🙂

This is still an open issue. You can watch release notes for when the issue has been resolved.

Thank you. 🙂

I'm only asking now because it's becoming a bit awkward not being able to promote posts properly and I'm having to apologise to site members.

Will keep an eye out!

Ahhh, thank you.

I thought when you said the task was moved to IC 5 that it wouldn't be fixed until the new major release!
