BBP Close Old Topics

설명

BBP Close Old Topics is a bbPress extension to close old topics automatically when they are older than an admin-defined period of time, from one week to one year.

The period of time you set is compared to the topic freshness (usually based on the date of the last reply) to determine if a topic should be closed.

Old topics can be “soft-closed” on the fly only, or actually closed in the database.

Settings are in Settings > Forums, under “Forum Features”.

If you choose to only soft-close old topics on the fly, they will only appear closed as long as the plugin is active, but you will find them still open if you disable it.

If you check the “Hard close” option, every topic that gets closed on the fly will also be effectively closed in the database. In this case they will remain closed even if you disable this plugin.

This plugin only works with bbPress 2.2 or later. It will not have any effect if bbPress is not installed and activated, and will not work correctly with any version older than 2.2. This plugin was tested with bbPress up to 2.5.14.

Configuration

1. Visit ‘Settings > Forums’ and set the settings in the “Forum Features” section.
2. Check the “Close Old Topics” box to enable this feature, and set how old posts should be before closing them (1 year by default).
3. Optionally check the “Hard Close Old Topics” if you want topics to be actually closed in the database.
