You configured one or more of your categories to auto-close topics and noticed that this applies only to newly created topics in those categories? Don’t worry! There’s a script that applies the auto-close setting to old topics.
Access Your Site
First connect to your Droplet via SSH, and enter the Docker container for your Discourse instances:
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
Apply the auto-close settings
Run this command:
rake topics:apply_autoclose
