I have a forum section that’s already populated with quite a few posts. Thing is it would make a lot more sense for this forum to be part of a new group I’d like to make for it. So how would I go about associating an old forum with a new group, instead of creating a new forum for that group?

I basically want to do what I can already do for old group forum imports with “Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships” in the Tools section, except now I want to “Create new Group Forum relationship”.

Hmmm… Another request for this feature…

I’m still not familiar enough with BuddyPress to decide where this should be implemented, that said though wouldn’t this be more of a BuddyPress enhancement:
…when creating a new group have the option to create a new forum or select an existing forum…

I guess. The two are so closely intertwined now that there are some big grey zones materializing 😛

We would definitely make sure the bbPress tools would support maintaining ‘BuddyPress Group Relationships’ and #2089 might even end up defining which direction is taken.

It could also be done in bbPress as a ‘Moderation Tool’ to bulk move topics/replies that includes BuddyPress Groups support which is already planned for future bbPress Moderation Tools.
