Moving a single Post to an another Topic
Quote from Jim on April 14, 2022, 2:25 pmIf you’re comfortable with editing the SQL database, it’s actually quite simple to move a post to another topic, retaining all info including date. In the forum_posts table, find the post, and change the parent_id to that of the topic you want it to be in. If the topic is in a different forum, you’ll have to change the forum_id too. Just make sure the new id’s exist and match or you will have a mess.
