In this case what I will recommend is looping through all the topics and revising the first post. You should add a new custom rake task for this manually on the droplet. The rake task will be like:
task 'posts:remap_custom' => :environment do
puts "Remapping"
i = 0
Topic.all.each do |t|
p = t.first_post
new_raw = p.raw.dup
new_raw = new_raw.gsub!(/\[ORIGINAL POST\]\(.*t\)/, "") || new_raw
if new_raw != p.raw
p.revise(Discourse.system_user, { raw: new_raw }, { bypass_bump: true, skip_revision: true })
putc "."
i += 1
end
end
puts "", "#{i} posts remapped!", ""
end
Considering that there are ~2.3 million posts this process will take some time to complete.
