How to delete a post ?

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    Hello,

    The new interface is great and 1.0.2 works like a charm.
    But when I delete a post it is not really deleted and I can see it by filterint the post.
    When I filter the deleted post i can : modify, View, put it back on line, or label it as spam but not "suppress it entierely"

    Am i missing something ?

    Thanks in advance
    Luc

    are u trying to delete post from admin panel?

    try again in admin panel

    As far as I can tell, BBPress keeps "deleted" posts indefinitely, allowing the admin to restore them, if necessary. The only way I know of to permanently get rid of them is to manually remove them from the database.

    You can delete posts from database in bbPress version 1.1. Read from trac.bbpress.org.

    I don't think that's been released yet hpguru?

    Lack of ability to delete old posts is a long-standing issue. If you don't have access to phpmyadmin, someone wrote a script which does it... but I can't vouch for it as I've never used it:

    Before trying anything like this, make sure to backup all of your data!!!

    johnhiler is correct. 1.1 has not been released yet.

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    bbPress 1.1 is published occasionally

    No, bbPress 1.0.2 is released. 1.1 is being built.
