Hi,
we have thousands of old/obsolete topics across our forum which we like to delete. I already searched meta for an appropriate way to achieve this but couldn’t found a proper solution.
Would it be enough to iterate through a list of topic-ids and set the deleted_at
- flag of each topic we like to “delete” or is there a better way? I know it’s a quite lazy solution.
I think it is a little bit of overhead to write an extra (small) plugin to make use of Topic.destroy
for a bulk-delete.
Kind Regards
Sascha
P.S.
