Does anyone know why I keep getting this error message when I try and edit more than about 60 topics at once. ‘‘Sorry, an error has occurred.’’ The only workaround is to edit a small number of topics at once - about 30. [11]

Thank you for your feedback @simon . I managed to delete the whole category successfully using ‘‘rake destroy:categories[…]’’

It is a very expensive operation so it is timing out.

Thank you for the feedback, but is there a way to fix it?

Select less topics at once. I’d suggest keeping it to a about 50 per batch. If you need to bulk edit a very large number of topics, use of the rails console will be necessary. See Administrative Bulk Operations

Right, I’m getting somewhere. I have successfully bulk removed all topics in a category, but it’s not letting me delete the entire category now because it’s saying: ‘‘Can’t delete this category because topic count is 1.’’ As far as I can see, there are no topics. Any ideas? [23]

A quick follow up @christian_01 . In the future, please ask for help with what your real issue is - in this case deleting a category with topics in it - rather than what you’re trying to do to solve the issue. From what I gather, your ultimate goal is deleting a category with lots of topics in it. H…
