dashboard>replies and filter for hidden
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the reply, but I don’t see any option to ‘filter for hidden’, just a filter button….. that does nothing?
In any case, I think I might have fixed this with the ‘Repair’ options?
With thanks,
Russell
yes you are correct, and glad you are fixed
Hi Robin,
This issue persists. I now have 23 hidden replies, which I again got rid of with the’Repair’ function. How do they get hidden in the first place – is it when you ‘Trash’ them? …is this normal or is something broken? Should I be able to filter for ‘Hidden’? That option doesn’t exist in my WP.
Yes, the hidden replies come from Trashed replies and it’s an irritation having to get rid of them. What is the point of showing ‘Hidden Replies’? How is this useful info for forum visitors?
visitors, spectators and participants don’t see the ‘hidden’
They are only seen by moderators and keymasters, as this allows them to either restore or permanently delete a reply.
If you click the ‘+x hidden’ then the topic will display with the hidden ones showing.
This is useful for instance where a moderator might trash a reply so that it doesn’t show, pending a discussion with another moderator and then they can decide whether to restore or permanently delete the reply.
Robin,
Thanks for that helpful explanation – didn’t realise normal members couldn’t see it!
Many thanks,
Stewart
great – glad you’re fixed
