Apply auto-close to existing topics

:bookmark: This documentation provides instructions on how to apply the auto-close feature to existing topics using a specific script.

When you configure categories in Discourse to auto-close topics, this setting applies only to new topics. However, you can apply this setting to existing topics as well through a simple script.

Accessing your site

To begin, connect to your server via SSH and enter the Docker container for your Discourse instance by executing the following commands:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app

Applying the auto-close settings

Once inside the container, run the following command to apply the auto-close settings to existing topics:

rake topics:apply_autoclose
