I'm probably not looking in the right place (or more likely, I'm not awake enough), but...

?

I have about 700 message posts (involving over 300 different topics) that were tagged with a particular hash tag (and in some cases, along with other tags).? I want to DELETE the particular hash tag from ALL of those posts and REPLACE it with another existing hash tag...? I know I can click on the hashtag selection and bring up all of the posts in question, but how do I go from there, e.g. select all, etc, and do the delete/replace?? Or, does that option simply not exist? Or, do I have to do it on a 1x1 basis (ugh)?

?

Thanks for your feedback!

I think I understand what you want to do.? If you want to replace the hashtag on all messages that have it, you can edit the existing hashtag to make it an alias (redirect) of the one you want to use.? In most cases, this is only used to consolidate variations of a hashtag, but it should work just as well for a bulk replacement in this case.

Do you wish to change all the messages with a particular tag to the same tag?

i.e. Do you wish to change all messages with #halifax to #NovaScotia

?

If you do, first, you do it in # Hashtags. Click on Edit for the particular hashtag you want to get rid of.

?

Then just create an alias for that hashtag. (If the hashtag you want for the alias doesn't exist yet, create it. e.g. in my sample, add #NovaScotia)

?

System message appears when you make an alias - Note: Topics tagged with #halifax will be transferred to #NovaScotia.

?

Any other hashtags on individual messages are retained. Just removes the one you are creating an alias for. Then delete the old hashtag in Hashtags.

Thanks Duane and Frances, the alias option worked nicely.

?

My only remaining question, which Frances seemed to answer, but I want to be crystal clear...

?

After I create the alias in the hashtag that I want to no longer appear, can I DELETE that hashtag and will the alias addition still apply on the posts in question?? e.g. right now, your advice works perfectly and all of the posts in question bear the other hash tag... I'm just wondering (?) if the "effect" will still be there once (IF?) I DELETE the old hash tag in which the alias was inserted?

?

Hopefully that makes sense... I'd like to delete it (I'm a housecleaning nut, sigh), but can leave it alone as I see that once you put in the alias, that one no longer appears on the dropdown list from which members can choose...

Just retested to make sure. Yes, I can create a new hashtag to use as alias (or use an existing hashtag as alias). Then after I have made the other hashtag the alias, I can delete the old hashtag. The messages are all there with the newly assigned hashtag.

Thanks again, Frances. Yes, I deleted the hashtag with the alias I had inserted, and indeed all posts now bear the hashtag alias.? Logic would seem to suggest (?) to me, that deleting the hashtag that contains the alias, would effectively "cancel" the reassignment, but it doesn't.??

?

Thanks for the assistance! My issue fully solved.
