Deleting a Forum Site

Deleting a forum site deletes its pages and all its forum content: topics, replies, follows, votes, and reports. Other forum sites aren’t affected.

Deleting a site can’t be undone. Back up Liferay’s database first if you might need its content.

  1. Check that the site’s site initializer zip isn’t in Liferay’s osgi/client-extensions folder; Creating Forum Sites has you remove it once the site exists. Deployed again later, it would create the site again, empty. On Liferay PaaS, check the same for its site initializer project in liferay/client-extensions.

  2. In Control Panel → Sites, open the site’s Actions menu, click Delete, and confirm.

The forum’s shared parts stay, since other forum sites use them: its data model from the batch, the microservice, and the Forum Moderator, Forum Category Admin, and Forum Banned roles.
