Changing Group Name Doesn't Change Group Name Slug

    I’m finally messing around with BuddyPress and created a group named BP Testers. I went in and edited the name to Sample, which works fine as the change reflects in the title, but the slug for the group is still bp-testers. Anyway to fix this?

    Only by editing the database. This was to avoid broken links etc in the activity streams, etc, and yes, there are probably better ways to handle this.

    Thanks, I agree that there are better ways to handle this, because I’m guess that some folks will want to do this.

    I have just installed buddypress on a production site and created a few groups on it. Now a member had an issue with the group name so I had to change the name. But the URL group-slug is still the old name.

    I would really like the slug to reflect the new name.

    I can go into phpmyadmin and change it from the DB tables. I noticed wp_bb_forums and wp_bp_groups has the slug. Is there anywhere else where I should go and change the slug value?

    Thanks for creating such a cool software!

    I’d imagine we can sneak slug editing into the next version – this would be a great plugin as a temporary solution? We could perhaps even merge the plugin into the core if someone is interested in building it.
