Soft-delete override?

Product Support

AI-generated summary

Soft-delete override discussion revolves around Shoq seeking a way for admins to override soft-deletes on a case-by-case basis without console access. Canapin provided links to relevant topics, but they required console access, which Shoq didn’t have. Canapin offered an alternative solution using CSS to hide the “pink remnants” but Shoq eventually found the “Permanently Delete” option under a different wrench menu, resolving the issue.

Is there any way an admin can override soft-deletes on a case-by-case basis, or is setting Permanent deletes in the console our only option (server admin is on holiday)

We’re prototyping and the pink remnants are distracting.

TIA

Hello Shoq,

Is this what you’re looking for?

Thank you, but no. That requires Console access which I don’t have until my server admin returns on Monday. I was hoping to find another way.

What remnants are you talking about? Can you post a screenshot?

If it’s this (tho it’s not pink):

The image is a screenshot of a comment under the username "Canapin" with the word "test" next to it. (Captioned by AI)

This can be hidden with CSS if you have access to themes:

.gap {
    display: none;
}

I don’t know if there are side effects.

Figured it out. The “Permanently Delete” is under a different wrench menu than what I was looking at. The entities are confusing for we newbies sometimes. I have lots of that. Thank you for the assistance :slight_smile:
