I've don't a large migration from two other forum applications over to wpForo and would like to start everyone clean with all migrated posts indicating read.

Right now widgets like unread posts are showing sometimes 20 year old posts that were read long ago, cluttering up the new actual unread posts.

Where is this stored in the database so I can do a mass update? Or is there another way.

Hi,

The data is stored separately for each user. You can find it in the wp_usermeta table under the “wpforo_all_read” key, as well as in the user’s browser cookies.

If users click the “Mark all read” button in the forum footer section, this data will be cleared.

In case you want to say thank you 😊

@sofy Thanks, so if they click the "Mark all read" link at the bottom of the main forum index, will it mark all post under all the categories and sub-forums as read?
