Hello, we currently have three forum categories running under a single board ID (see: https://netz-familie.ch/netzfamilie-community/). We would like to create a separate board for each category and copy all the corresponding forums to it. Finally, we want to delete the old board. How do we do this?
Thanks and best regards,
Steven
Moving forum content between boards in wpForo can be a bit tricky because the relationships between categories and forums are tied to specific board IDs.
The most straightforward way to do this is to go to the "Forums" menu in your dashboard and simply edit the category or forum you want to move. There should be a dropdown menu where you can select the "Parent Forum" or the "Board" it belongs to. Once you switch it to the new board and save, it should migrate over with all the topics and posts intact.
Just a heads-up:- after moving things, it’s always a good idea to go to wpForo > Settings > Dashboard and click the buttons to "Rebuild Threads/Posts Information" and "Clear All Caches." This usually fixes any weirdness with post counts or broken links that might happen during the move!
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I need to clarify: When I edit the forum I want to move and deactivate "Publish as category," I do have access to the dropdown menu, but it only displays the categories and forums from the board slug "netzfamilie-community." Other boards I have running with the same ID aren't offered for selection (no "Parent Board" is listed there).
Best regards,
Steven
