Pinned topics order is not working on DigitalOcean version of Discourse

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the issue of pinned topics not reordering in a self-hosted DigitalOcean version of Discourse. М_М initially reported the problem, and after trying various options, including reloading the page, the issue persisted. Jagster and JammyDodger chimed in, stating that they couldn’t replicate the issue on their respective sites, with JammyDodger providing a step-by-step guide on how pinned topics should reorder correctly. The conversation suggests that the issue might be specific to М_М’s setup rather than a problem with DigitalOcean or Discourse. JammyDodger asked М_М to try replicating the issue in safe-mode to troubleshoot the problem further.

Hello Team,

Pin and re-pin topics does not make those reorder. Can anyone tell me how to make them ordered?
I host my forums at DigitalOcean.

Thanks

Have you tried doing a reload after you repin them?

3

Yes, I tried many options. And it seems not working

I’m on DigitalOcean and it works just fine. So, I would say that error is not by DO. That would be quite strange anyway. Discourse doesn’t know which cloud server it is living in :wink:

I got similar issue some time ago, but I had more problems with time stamps of topics. Rebuilding fixed it. Was it because of someking caching issue or was there a bit or two in wrong position… not a slighest idea, but rebuilding helped.

can you please tell, how you reorder them? what is the scenario?

and this really matters, since hosted version of Discourse differs from cloud one.

Per DO versus some other cloud company? I have really hard to believe how that would affect. That is matter or resources of VPS (RAM, processors etc), not company based. And if something like this happends because of hosted version, it happends because of setup, not DO itself.

self-hosted Discourse has to be fully setup by yourself, comparing to hosted version. but the question now is about ordered pinned posts. in fact, I cannot make them ordered(

I can’t replicate this on my test site. Everything seems to be working as expected.

Steps:

Topic 1 → topic admin wrench → pin topic → global timeframe = forever → pin globally

Topic 2 - repeat

Topic 3 - repeat

Order displayed:

Topic 3
Topic 2
Topic 1

pinned topics 321
pinned topics 3211080×1716 222 KB

I then unpinned Topic 2, and re-pinned it. As it is now the latest pinned it appears at the top of the list:

pinned topics 231
pinned topics 2311080×1698 241 KB

Is there something else I could try to replicate what you’re seeing? Does it work in safe-mode? [YourSite]/safe-mode

let me check. I will get back soon. Thanks!
