Is mass close topics available? If not, I would recommend to add this option.

I mean, we have posts from 2008, and we would like to close all topics before 2015 let’s say, I won’t stay 1 day on selecting all that man! :smiley:

See here [image] Auto-close old topics from a migrated forum Migration I would SSH into the server and then cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c Topic.where(closed: false).where("created_at < '2015-01-01'").find_each do |topic| topic.update_status…

[image] ckhawand: If not, I would recommend to add this option. There is a setting to autoclose topics at a certain post count. And a warn user if topic is older than setting. An “autoclose after nnn days” wouldn’t be a bad idea.

At the Category level, there are close topics after n (topic creation time) close topics n after last reply (last post time) I don’t know how it works with imported topics, but because importing topics is rarely done, IMHO there isn’t a critical need for a “close retro” Setting and a CLI command…

YES! Thank you Joe for visualizing this process. I was lost in a Discourse I inherited and this was the missing workflow for cleaning up.

To the right of the Topic header there’s a list icon. Click on that, select the topics you want to close, click the wrench on the right-hand side of the screen, and close the topics.
