Approve Multiple Forum Replies Located In Trash

    Many, many forum replies were accidentally put in trash. I want to get them back to where they belong.

    • I have tried to use bulk action to Restore them but then they show up as Draft
    • once they appear as Draft there is no bulk action to Approve them
    • when I bulk Edit them to change Status to Published they appear in the Forums as recent activity even though they could be several years old.

    Can I use MySQL in the database to change the forum replies to where they were before being trashed? If so, in which database table and which fields are these values set?

    WP version: 6.1.1
    bbPress version: 2.6.9
    using child theme based on Enfold 5.4.1

    Forums are at https://canadianvintageradio.com/cvrs-forums/

    After bulk edit to change status to “Published” (from Draft) I would try to run under Tools -> Repair Forums -> appropriate tools to recalculate the recent activities etc.

    Thank you – I wasn’t aware of all the tools for bbPress. That solves the problem.

    I’m in the same boat. When I hit publish the posts have today’s date.

    I have run the Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum but this doesn’t redate the post. Which tool option redates the post?
