Is this possible now?

 

After a certain time we need to close topics. Its quite common on forums. 

 

If there is no setting, is there some hook we can tap into to help?

 

Worse case I assume we can write some code to change the status in the database, but would rather use any functions that exist to help. 

 

Thanks

I'm sorry but that's not possible with wpForo.

Not sure if it has been asked before.

I tried to search but didn't find any answers that could help me.

What I want is that if a topic get's old (more than x days old).
Or last reply was x days/weeks ago, I want the topic to close and archive or delete itself.

Is that possible in wpForo? If yes how?
