Hi,

How can I move a topic from one forum to another programmatically? I’m hoping to send a post variable with the new forum ID, and then update the topic like so:

// Update the Status Meta After Changes are Posted
if ( isset( $_POST['bbps_forum_option'] ) ) {

	$new_forum = $_POST['bbps_forum_option'];

	bbp_update_topic( $this->topic_id, $new_forum );

} // if()

Thanks!

The forum is held as the post_parent in wp_posts

so you would update this

eg

// Update topic 37
  $my_post = array(
      'ID'           => 37,
      'post_parent' => 27
  );

// Update the post into the database
  wp_update_post( $my_post );

where 27 is the id of the parent forum
