Permalink and slug rebuild?

   I'm using the name based permalinks. After renaming a forum title the slug or permalink did not change. Is there a rebuild permalink feature similar to wordpress?

   Thanks,
   Gio

   That's an interesting idea (doesn't exist but interesting).
   However it would break any links you have in search engines.

   If you have access to phpmyadmin you could edit the forum permalinks directly if need be.

   There's a great redirection plugin I use with wordpress to fix that issue. Maybe if this became a feature a plugin could be created to fix the old links indexed in the search engines.

   Thank you,
   Gio

   Yes I am familiar with that WP redirect plugin - it saves the old permalink in meta and checks the meta when a url is not found.

   It would be an interesting port for bbPress but I am too burnt out on bbPress stuff right now to give it a go. I highly suggest the phpmyadmin method for now to just manually edit the permalink since it's a one-time deal.
