Searched before posting: I like ‘Auto Bumping the topics’ to keep topics getting renewed. But I wished that when visitor visited topics, they weren’t shown tens of ‘Automatically Bumped’ msgs. Is there a way to delete them occasionally, manually or automatically (or both)? I’m asking this because…

There is no built-in feature for such a bulk action. You could use a rails script to delete existing auto bump messages, something like: SSH in your server cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c Post.where("action_code = 'autobumped'").destroy_all :warning: Always do a bac…

That’s good enough. Thank you. Is there some command with which we could first list/see all those msgs before giving the ‘destroy (delete)’ command?

The best way would be to do it from the Discourse interface with Data Explorer : [image] Discourse Data Explorer Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Data Explorer allows you to make SQL queries against your live database, allowing for up-to-the-minute sta…

Ah!! That’s the query, which would make me happy. Thanks again.

Though the query suggested does show the topics that contain ‘auto-bumped’ msgs in all topics. But it proved of not much help. [image] It just returns hundreds of topics which contain thousands of ‘Auto-Bumped’ msgs, but doesn’t tell how many such msgs exist in how many topics. So, I think, ulti…

[image] Coin-coin le Canapin: Post.where(“action_code = ‘autobumped’”).destroy_all Would the 5th line of the rails command told by you would ask or prompt anything before deleting all those posts? Or would it just do what it has been told to do, without any warning etc, or chance of retrieva…

Something like this in the data-explorer may help give an overview: SELECT p.topic_id, COUNT(p.id) AS count FROM posts p WHERE action_code = 'autobumped' GROUP BY p.topic_id ORDER BY count DESC However, I’ll chuck in a word of warning about using the rails console to make changes like the…

Yeah it did solve problem as much as offered by the designers/developers. But I still would like to say that there should be some ‘Admin’ commandj, in the admin settings or in the topic being viewed, to select all 'duplicate (Auto-Bumped) msgs’ in any one topic or all topics and then remove them, w…

Perhaps you could hide those messages with CSS instead? Unfortunately, I don’t think the post-small-action widget currently includes the action type as a CSS class, so you can’t target bump messages specifically. Maybe a theme component could help?

[image] Simon King: Unfortunately, I don’t think the post-small-action widget currently includes the action type as a CSS class Yeah, I checked that before suggesting the data explorer solution. Adding specific classes to small actions could be a good Contribute > Feature suggestion.

Can you suggest some thing pls. I can just copy paste the same into a component. Don’t know the coding.

Ah I see, it’s because of the time-gap messages that aren’t hidden. This is tricky because you can’t target a previous element with CSS.
