Deleting Topics

Logged in as the admin, I cannot find where I can delete a users post or my own post.

 

The first place I looked was in the WP Forum Admin Panel and then second place I looked was in forum itself….where I could edit, but not delete.

 

I was hoping for a way to delete forum topics in the admin panel view rather than searching thru each topic in the forum view.

 

Thanks again!

forum topics are deleted on the front end using the Forum Tools (formerly known as the edit tools)…

if you have the pruned database plugin, you can do some topic deletions with a date/forum filter…

I’ve been looking all around, but cannot seem to find the Forum Tools location on the front end.

In either the forum view or topic view hover the mouse cursor over the row where you want to bring the tools up. The icon should appear over on the left. It currently needs a stronger icon but many of these are also not finalised yet.

I’ve got everything on and still cannot find the delete topic button. Can you send a screen shot or a little further guidance?

forum admin > admins > Global Admin Options: Have you turned on the option to use the forum edit tools?

Yes, it’s all turned on.

 

Still unable to delete forum topics. Based on the pro forums I’ve used, really, there should just be a button to delete a topic if the admin is logged in.

 

Still no luck.

There more or less is. Where, exactly, are you looking for it?

I resintalled from scratch, put all the fines in the location stated in then integration and it’s now showing the popup tool, which is a little hidden, but I get this error when trying to delete:

 

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/problem-with-post-edit-buttonhem/public_html/scn2/wp-content/forum-plugins/blog-linking/sp-linking-plugin.php on line 361

 

Otr this error if I turn off other plugins:

 

Warning: Missing argument 2 for sp_subscriptions_topic_delete() in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/problem-with-post-edit-buttonhem/public_html/scn2/wp-content/forum-plugins/subscriptions/sp-subscriptions-plugin.php on line 172

I see one problem with this when subscriptions are turned on but not the others. Did you update the SP plugins from svn as well?
You are still getting some very strange and unique issues which I am unable to replicate. Something in your website there is having some sort of negative effect but I sadly do not know what it is…
