But again, all plugins that store tracking information on topic id's will need updating, including a dozen of my own.</p> <p>So yes, you could manually do it, or even force it via move-it, but you will break your forum sooner or later. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-20394 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:22:46 +0000 Nekita 20394@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Since the move-it plugin is outdated, is there any other way to "manually" merge (or split) a topic for the time being?</p> <p>In my case I would like to add an Index reply as the first post to some of my older threads, is that possible? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-19159 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:55:43 +0000 Benzilla069 19159@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This could help?</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-19157 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:17:51 +0000 Mirochai 19157@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is there a way for me to easily merge Forums, topics, split topics and so forth?</p> <p>I would like to merge a couple of my forums. I just imported my phpbb2 40 meg forum to bbpress. It works super!

Thanks for that. I will hope for the best on that one. Right now, doing it manually is a big PITA, but I wonder if the Site Management "Recounts" might help with keeping it all straight after moving things around.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/split-an-existing-topic#post-4570 Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:50:03 +0000 ear1grey 4570@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/584">trac</a>'d it last week...

The "Add New" is too vague. I think it needs to be more explicit. So I have changed it to "Start New Topic Here". </p> <p>If that doesn't help, I'll change it to "To Start New Topic, Click Here" </p> <p>But I'll keep you posted on the first rewording change. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moving-post#post-978 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:08:39 +0000 mdawaffe 978@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm sorry, I misunderstood your original post.

So it will not move by itself. His post was completely different from my sticky. I think all I can do is close the sticky. Delete his post, and re-create it under my username. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moving-post#post-967 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 22:24:45 +0000 mdawaffe 967@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>When logged in as an administrator, you should see a "Move this topic to the selected forum [dropdown of forums]" at the very bottom of that topic's page.</p> <p>At least, that's how things work with the default template. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moving-post#post-963 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 21:35:52 +0000 kannued 963@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I changed it in the database, saved it.

Another forum user has added their problem onto a thread which is tackling a different issue entirely.</p> <p>Joe Public just doesn't seem to dig that it's OK to start a new topic.</p> <p>Having looked a bit at the DB structure I think splitting a thread should be fairly easy, any thoughts or hints, please shout - I'm going to look at a plugin when I have time, but time is short currently.</p> <p>If someone else has some spare cycles I'll willingly test it, even if it's really rough :D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/split-an-existing-topic#post-254 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 21:10:19 +0000 ear1grey 254@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've just had a user post a help request on the end of a thread. He's asking something which is unrelated to the thread itself, and he's obviously not found the "new topic" button.</p> <p>What I'd like to be able to do is split the discussion so his post starts a new topic. </p>
