How to delete all post? like 500 posts

Post by Markxxx »

Hi

As the title, the Delete All Post button seems can only delete 50 posts, what if I have a lot more than 50 posts to delete?

thanks
Mark

That might have been due to using RSS feed for scraping posts, so would be limited to 20.

Check SETTINGS tab option to user ARCHIVE and it may work better to scrape more.

I tried both Rss feed and Archive options, but what's weird is, TJ always goes to the same page:
Setting global max results
Get page: https://www.tumblr.com/mega-editor/xxxx
Resp: 200
https://www.tumblr.com/mega-editor/published/xxxx
Scraped URLs: 50
Totals URLs: 50
and seems the 50 is pre-set somewhere. and my scraping setting is set to like 100k.

Anyway, if there is a repeat times option to this job, it also work.

right click action > edit action > repeat every hours / minutes option will be exposed.

NOTE: only edit a waiting /completed (then redo) action

seems like something on tumblr changed so the program cannot page through posts so is stopping after one page, i.e. 50.
