Manual bump for staff

Support

Hi, is there a way, for staff only, to manually bump a topic ideally with a single click? (I know the category level auto bumping but would like to have a more granular way). Thanks.

As far as I know, there are two ways to do this.

A: Setting a one-time Topic Timer

You can manually bump a topic by clicking the wrench button for the entire topic (not individual post), either to the right side of your topic screen or at the bottom of the entire topic thread. Select the Set Topic Timer… button and then you will be presented with a modal asking to set up the timer. Select Auto Bump Topic and then select Custom Date and Time, after which, set your current date and then the time around 1-2 minutes ahead. Your topic will be bumped monetarily and only once.

B: Changing the Topic Timestamp

You can manually bump a topic by clicking the wrench button for the entire topic (not individual post), either to the right side of your topic screen or at the bottom of the entire topic thread. Select the Change Timestamp… button and then you will be presented with a modal asking to set a new “timestamp”. Set the new timestamp as your current date and time, and your topic should be automatically bumped back up to the top.

Please note that this will change the post date/time of the first post, which could throw some users off.

Yes thanks. First solution is too complicated, I was more looking for a one click action (I realize this could be a new feature ask…)

Second solution, I fear that could not please our friend Google for SEO ? And I would not like to change the date anyway.

Thanks for thinking about it.

I believe a Theme component would most likely suffice for your use case, although as far as I know that doesn’t exist yet and I don’t have the expertise on those things. You can create a feature request for this here → Feature and if you would like to seek an expert in building one of these for you, the Marketplace is for you.

perhaps auto-bumping might help your use case instead?

Thanks I already use it but I was looking for a more granular way.
