hello! I’ve seen one of the admins being able to change topic timestamps, and i’ve tried to do this in a testing topic. however, the topic timestamp does not show the “change topic timestamp” feature. [image] i’ve asked the discourse helper bot, and it said that i needed to be a site admin to change topic timestamps (although, i am a site admin). i would like help with this. thanks!

It looks like you’re in the post wrench menu and not the topic wrench menu. The change timestamp option should be in there.

the topic / OP date was found in the topic wrench icon for me, aswell as reset-bump-date

How to change topic timestamps?

you need to be an admin on the Discourse Forum to reset-bump-date of a post that opens a topic (OP)

if you want to change timestamps of subsequent posts that must be done via CLI
