XF 2.3 Mass delete tags

[Salamanca]

Hi,

After a migration from Invision Board, I have more than 1000 tags. I need to delete 95% of them.
There's no option to batch-manage the tags.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

XF 2.3 Thread 'How to delete 11k tags'

Nov 24, 2024

I have nearly 11k tags. They are not really tags, however.
If I click "View" on the tag in acp it says: "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."
I don't think any of these tags are attached to any posts, it looks like an import error from way back when (I chose to not import tags), coming from vB, and only the list was imported.
How would I remove them? Thanks

You'll have do it one by one.

If so you have to carefully prune the DB. Not an easy task.

Sort them by number of uses and remove those that are at 0. It will be a little easier...

This tool should let you "tick and remove."
