Can you move articles between article categories?

[Mrs.T]

I'm trying to get to grips with Articles.

They are brilliant but I've made a mistake and put a load of recipes in the main category "articles" I should have made a new child category and called it recipes.

Is there a way to move the posts/articles from one category to another? I can't find anything in the AdminCP category manager or content manager and although the admin buttons to 'move' for topics and posts is there. They don't do anything except show the option to move to a main forum channel not an articles category.

If I rename the main 'articles' category to recipes it changes that to be the main link for all articles.

You should be able to do this in the admincp under CMS > Content List
Tick the box for the article you want to move, select Move from the dropdown, then Apply.
It should ask you where you want it moving to.

Thanks AGAIN today Mark.

That's what I need, don't know how I missed it. Thought I was going to have to copy them all out! Phew!

To me it's an anomaly...as there is the front end 'Move' functionality and for me, it ought to be in there really. However, it's better than not being able to do it at all.

Yes you are right, the front end 'move' option only gives the main forum channels as an option to move to.
