		Hi, tanks for your response. I already found this code on the internet, but it didn’t seem to do anything.
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		so did you load this as a plugin eg
Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’
Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.
then in worpress go to
Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.
