Set Default Deletion Periods for posts
As an administrator, you can specify that posts in certain modules are deleted by default after a certain amount of time. This keeps your group's feed up-to-date automatically without you having to edit each post individually.
-
Select group: Navigate to the group for which you want to adjust the settings.
-
Open settings: Click on "Settings" within the group.
-
Select module: Go to the activated modules section and select the corresponding module (e.g., "Forum", "Events", or "Marketplace") to which you want to apply the rule.
-
Set deletion period: Here you will find the option to define a general deletion date (e.g., "after 30 days").
-
Save: Confirm the change.
What happens when a post is created? Once you have activated the default deletion period, it directly affects the creation of new content:
-
Pre-filled date: When a member (or you) creates a post in this module, the deletion date is already automatically set in the Advanced Settings according to your specifications.
-
Flexibility remains: Creators can still manually adjust or remove this date if a specific post needs to remain visible longer (or shorter).
