Blog post linking

This plugin is one of the main reasons we chose Simple:Press and it works very well.

We have one contributor who isn’t too tech savvy and has made a few forum posts which would have been great as articles on the WP blog. He didn’t tick the box to create and link a blog post from the forum post when he submitted the new topics. Is there any way to retroactively create blog posts linked to these topics?

I am afraid there is no automated way of achieving this although we do have it on the list for a future development at some point.

Currently you would need to manually re-create the blog post and manually add a row to a database table. Not hard if you are used to doing that sort of thing and if so then I can tell you what you would need to do.

Andy, you know blog linking better than I, but I believe you can go edit the wp blog post, scroll down to the bottom part and then link it to a new forum topic…

you would have to do it for each blog post, but save any db mucking…

Steve: This question is about the reverse action…, creating blog posts from a new forum topic.
