I have a lot of topics that were closed following the wrong setting “Close after … min”. Tried to select multiple topics that were closed and apply a bulk action to them, but didn’t find such a button. Is this function possible in any other way or am I doing smth wrong?

You might have a look at Administrative Bulk Operations if your self hosted. If you’re hosted somewhere you might contact them and walk if they will do it from the rails console for you

Ugh I’ve just run into this as well… accidentally closed a bunch of topics and just realized it, now I want to just select them all and reopen, but that’s not an option! Admins can bulk close, but not bulk open! This feels like a very basic thing that should be available to admins.

Just ran into this as well on an instance. Would be nice if the bulk close option toggles to bulk open when all selected topics are already closed.

There is no workaround?

Not sure if here or UX might be best
I selected a number of topics with the idea of Opening Topics. Unfortunately there is Close Topics but no Bulk Open Topics. 
It’s rare that you would want to open a bunch of closed topics. If you have a lot, you might do it from rails. Administrative Bulk Operations might help

@Heliosurge, I’ve slipped your feature request over to this existing one to keep them grouped together.

Yeah but would like to avoid using command line as there are topics I want to open but not all of them.
I agree not likely to come up often. But select and open would be better

Sorry. I have a bad habit of treating everything in feature as if it were in support.
Oh! Hooray. Maybe it wasn’t my fault, then.

No worries there. Imho an easy way might be to combine Open/Close in the bulk actions
When choosing the button it will open closed selected topics and Open Closed Topics.
To be fair was in support. But @JammyDodger moved it appropriately to feature in an existing similar topic.
