Moving a Topic to a different Forum

  • @cbrendlinger

    Participant

    I just want to move a topic from one forum to another. It seems simple enough but there is a glitch. the topic shows up in the new forum but [bbp-forum-index] displays zero topics and zero replies. I need to move quite a few topics over and would like for the values displayed in the index to align with the number of topics. From the topic page in the backend, I simply changed the forum in the sidebar and saved the topic. What am I missing?

    hmmm….not sure what has happened

    perhaps go to

    dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run any relevant looking items – ‘recalculate parent forum’ looks like a good one to run as a start

    Can I supplement the question 🙂
    I want to move 400 topics to another forum. I do it manually for a long time.

    Is there any lifehack for this case?

    is it all topics from one forum, or just some?

    Yes, all topics from one subforum. Transfer to another subforum.
    Inside one site, inside one bpp.

    The reason is to merge 2 sub-forums into one common one.
    It’s easy to joint manually, there is a button near “edit topic”, but 400 times …

    this looks like it might do it

    bbPress Move Topics

    whilst it is an old plugin, it is written by Pascal who is a good plugin author, and there have been no major changes other than subscribe since written, and I suspect it does not touch that part.

    Thank you, I must try.
    First, I’ll do it in the sandbox, then I’ll make a backup and try it on the main project.

    There is always a fear that the server will not swallow and give an error)

    that sounds like a good plan – do come back and report success or failure – if it doens;t work, I’ll try and find some time to look at the plugin.
