I want to reduce the table size of my forum_posts table.

I have configured the Archiving option (Topics with Last Post more than 10 years ago).

But how do I start the process?

I triggered the archive task but nothing is happening.

What am I missing?

TIA

Probably nothing. It runs on a task schedule and it might take a while until you see the results (maybe even days). Just be patient

Ah, OK.

Now I see results. But if in each run only 250 posts are archived, it will talk about a month until the job is done…

The archive routine is intentionally slow to go through, so it doesnt interupt the rest of your site

OK, but one month is a bit much…

It would depend on how many topics you have and also how you are running tasks. If you are not running tasks by cron, setting that up will speed things up. However bear in mind its intended to run very slowly, in the background on your site. Its really something that just be set and then left alone to do what it needs to do.

About 4.7 M posts of which about 40% need to be archived.

That would take quite a bit of time. You can try running manually the archive task in ACP -> search for "Tasks"

I found the task in the DB and gave it a much higher frequency.
