Hello,
Is it possible to delete old blog posts? Or, is there a config variable that will remove them after a set time?
Hi @Lynn.L.12,
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!.
Unfortunately at present, there is no built‑in feature or configuration variable to automatically delete blog posts after a certain time period.
Deleting blog entries must be done manually via UI.
For Blog entries:
Users can remove comments on their own blogs. They cannot delete comments on another user's blog. To delete entries, please refer to the following documentation article:
https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3610-create-a-blog#delete-blog-comments
Alternatively, you may consider the d2l.Tools.Blog.User.RemoveBlogWatchDays config variable which removes entries from blog watch after x days. This variable only affects notification visibility, not the existence of the blog entries themselves.
For Discussion forums, topics, threads, or posts:
You can manually delete discussions forums, topics, threads, or posts manually following these steps:
Please also find the following article which provides further information regarding the Discussion forums and topics:

Hope this helps!
Please feel welcome to reach out with more questions.
Best regards
Miguel B.
