Chapter 4: Posting Entries

Deleting entries

Problem

You need to delete one or more entries

Solution

Use the Delete Entry button on the Edit Entry screen. For multiple entries, use the Delete action button on the Entries Listing screen.

Discussion

Delete entries with care, as the content will be permanently removed from the system. You can unpublish an entry and hide it from view by switching its status to "Draft."

Click the Delete Entry button on the button bar of the Edit Entry Screen. To remove multiple entries at once, check off multiple entries on the Entries Listing screen and then click the Delete button at the bottom.

MT will not delete any Individual Entry Archive pages that may have been generated in previous rebuild operations. In order to completely delete the entry you will also need to manually delete these pages from your server after rebuilding.
