I suspect there are other references to those posts that are not removed when you remove the post directly. Take a look in the admin panel at Site Management &gt; Recount. Those are all things that are tied into posts somehow. For example, maybe a member has a post listed as their last post, then you delete that post. That would be bad since the reference they hold pointing to the post is no longer valid.</p> <p>So, deleting just a post in the database is a bad idea. Doesn't sound like you need to mass edit any posts, so for deleting them, use the bbPress admin panel, not phpMyAdmin. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13880 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 03:51:04 +0000 t3ch33 13880@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It's just for convenience, and right now I'm doing a lot of test posts, so it's quicker to delete those posts with the checkbox. I was deleting them in phpmyadmin, then read _ck_'s post about the plugin. If you don't mind, can you explain how my deleting posts and topics through phpmyadmin would affect a plugin? So far, though, I only have the anonymous user plugin. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13879 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:15:49 +0000 chrishajer 13879@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I agree. For deleting posts, I would do it through bb-admin and if there is a need for something like this, it's probably plugin territory. For a mass edit, which wasn't really explained, I don't see a problem using phpMyAdmin and a regex to update some text. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13875 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:27:32 +0000 _ck_ 13875@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It may be important to do deletes through bbpress and not phpmyadmin because there may be plugins that hook into the delete process.</p> <p>I'll look into making my recent posts plugin have the ability to do deletes via checkbox. Or it might be possible to mod the existing bbpress admin page.</p> <p>(I assume this is a spamming issue or something like that) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13874 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:40:36 +0000 chrishajer 13874@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>If you're looking to do something like that, I would use phpMyAdmin and access the posts directly. You also have two separate issues: mass edit and mass delete. What exactly are you trying to do? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13868 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:18:49 +0000 t3ch33 13868@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>by mass edit/delete, i mean edit/delete multiple posts at once (with a checkbox). I don't want to click each one, then click the pop-up dialogue boxes that ask me to confirm the delete. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13857 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:50:11 +0000 _ck_ 13857@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>If you look in your admin panel under content, you should have the new content-&gt;posts feature where you can search for posts by specific users, content, etc. Then you can delete via the list.</p> <p>should be under the admin panel under content, or<br /> /forums/bb-admin/content-posts.php </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-editdelete-posts-plugin-where-do-if-ind-bbpress-themes#post-13852 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:35:53 +0000 t3ch33 13852@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>is there a way to mass edit/delete posts?<br /> where do if ind bbpress themes?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
