Hi Roland,

Currently there is no quicker way to delete discussion posts without manual modification. I will propose two methods below.

1. Modify the pagination from browser so that it can load more than 100(attached).

2. Use sql queries to delete discussion posts from the database. However, we can only draft up the query to delete from 2 tables(post and thread table). There may be other tables involved for example, associated tags, uploaded attachments, post subscribers, comments, polls and so on. The data in these tables are not deleted, unlike deleting from the backend.

Let us know what do you think about these methods.

Hello Raymond,

The problem of ED forgetting the category is the biggest problem. As for your option 1 I already tried that but the same with the category, as soon as the page refreshes the value is back to the default.

Option 2 is out of the question. This would require full knowledge of your database structure, filesystem etc. Not even going to go there

Regards,

Roland

Hey Roland,

as soon as the page refreshes the value is back to the default.

I will log this in our tracker so we can address the issue with the filters resetting back to default.

In the meantime, I have attached a file with the temporary fix. You may apply this file into the directory below if you want this temporary fix. Remember to backup the original file as well.

Hello Raymond,

You're most welcome Roland and glad to know that it works.
