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?

[Robin W]

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

[neon67]

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)

[Robin W]

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.

OK. These are the tools for the long Christmas holidays

Merry Christmas, by the way! 🙂
