Issue Summary

Hello!

I have more than 100 000 nodes on my drupal where the 'Automatic alias' checkbox is unchecked.
Can someone tell me how I can edit this for all of my nodes?

I can't find anything in the database, where I could make this.

Thanks in advance!

That value is not stored in the database anywhere, but is generated automatically based on pathauto trying to be smart about how it does it's job. So, it's not possible to do this.

but there has to be a column in the database or something else where pathauto saves the value of this checkbox?!

No, there doesn't. #369840: If a user changes the automatic path, try to remember that in the future

So how does it work, I have the same issue and have been searching everywhere for an answer. I doubt it's an unusual issue to there must be a method/workaround/something?
Help please and thanks
Alan

bump! I also have more than a small handful of pages where 'Automatically generate' checkbox is unchecked and PathAuto doesn't want to bulk create aliases for them.

Ugh, just hit this myself. I'm guessing it has to do with revisions and previous pathautos.

I really want to take a single node type, wipe out previous aliases, then just start over. Is there now way to do this? I know I can set it using admin/content/node, but I have 54 pages of listed content to go through.

A warning to others: Never, ever change your aliases once your system is already set up. It's A Bad Thing (TM)

Was the original question answered? I have a similar problem with 10000 nodes

There is a mechanism to delete all content aliases: Admin > URL aliases > Delete aliases > Content

Then you can use Automated Alias Settings > Bulk generate aliases for nodes that are not aliased

Not the easiest, but it does work for large amounts of aliases.
