Archive or delete old posts

#1 · January 10, 2020, 5:06 pm

‘Morning Thomas,

Our forum was ported over from older software and has fifteen years of posts. In particular, the old classified ads are an issue. Is it possible to programatically delete or archive old posts from a single category? If this functionality isn’t part of the current code, could it be done as a paid project?

Thanks for writing and maintaining our favorite forum software!

Hello @gespanne

So you basically have a lot of posts in certain categories and want to remove all topics/posts in those categories which are older than XYZ? It should be not so difficult to do this via a simple SQL-query. If you need support for this, let me know.

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!
