Re: Can i change forums from one category to another

You want to move a forum into a different category? In that case, yes. Either change the category in admin_forums or run the following query:

UPDATE forums SET cat_id = NEW_CAT_ID WHERE id = FORUM_ID

Replace NEW_CAT_ID with the ID of the category you want to move the forum into and replace FORUM_ID with the ID of the forum you want to move.
