 I am trying to move a post to another topic, and although the menu appears, and allows me to make all the correct choices, once I click "move" - nothing happens.

I've also tried writing the post out myself and choosing "re-assigning" post to reassign it to the original author - but again, I write in their ID number and nothing happens.

I would like to take these one at a time so let's start with the 'move'.

You do not say whether this move is to a new or an existing topic which we need to know...?

I tried to do both of these things and neither worked.  Ideally, I wanted to move it to a new topic.
I followed the prompts (chose the forum to move it to, gave it a new title, clicked move) and then the page reloaded.  But the topic is still in the same place and there has been no new topic added.  I tried this on both explorer and in chrome.
I also logged in and out again a couple of times before and after doing it.
I'm an admin and I checked with the plugin settings in wordpress that I have all the correct permissions, all boxes are ticked - ie manage toolbox, manage forums etc - all boxes are ticked.
thanks for your help.

OK - looking at this and testing a little further I think we do have some sort of problem. Apologies for that. I am surprised though that you do not see the message box appear that tells you what the problem is but I m seeing it here.

I am opening a bug report here and we will get it fixed up ASAP. We are planning an imminent update as it happens.

I can give you a code fix for the move post tool if you fancy making the small change. But - as I said above - we do plan an update - possibly in a few days if all goes well.

Hi there, I haven't heard from you?

Any ideas when this will be fixed?  It's a fairly important feature - being able to move posts to another topic.  For instance, I have a "professionals only" forum - one of our members has last night accidentally posted in the "standard" forum and for confidentiality reasons, I really need to move it to the professionals only forum - but because this is broken I can't do so.

Do you have any work arounds while this is being fixed?
I tried to "log in as this member" on the back end of the wordpress site using my membership plugin (Membermouse) in order to manually move it - but it looks like I can't do this either.

Any advice that I can get quickly would be most helpful.

My simple press plug in is up to date and says I'm on version 5.7.5.1 (see screen shot attached)

http://prntscr.com/fzehw4

It isn't working for me. Same problem as last time:

I click on the post, click tools, click move post, move this post only, move to a new topic, type the name of the topic and click move.  The page refreshes (by the way, not sure if this is relevant but during the re-loading process right down the bottom of the page on the address bar, I can see the address google analytics flash for a second before it redirects) and once it has refreshed, the topic is in the same page.

I'm using chrome.

I've tried logging in and out again, using a private browser - still nothing happens.

Thanks for your help
