Request for Improved Forum / Topic Administration and Organization Functions

I’m digging BBPress, however re-organizing hundreds of forums and thousands of topics really seems to be a drag. Is there a way to move all topics inside one forum directly to another forum WITHOUT having to go into each topic one-by-one to assign the new “parent” forum? With all of the page-loads, this simple task could take weeks instead of hours.

It would be SO NICE to be able to move forums into a parent forum right from the admin Forums page. And move all topics+replies in one forum right into an existing or new forum. Is there a plugin that does any of this?

Oh, and it would be very handy to have a “Export Forums to SQL/CSV” command, so if needed you could open them in Excel to modify, then re-import.

This plugin may be what you’re after, pippin is usually good, but have no experience of this plugin

give it a try, but backup your database first!

I’ve been digging around trying to find a way to move topics between forums and found a nice way to do it with php – I’ve posted the code and explanation here in case anyone is struggling:
