Hi

this is not a new future Mark this is something an admin but also group owner should be able to do.

Change the group to another group category if a person have set a wrong group category for his group.

- [BUG] can not change group category type front end or backend for groups
It has always been this way and it isn't something that we created which altered the functionality of the extension. If it is a feature that you think should be included in the extension, please post it on https://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial

A bug is when the system allows you to change the category but is unable to do so. That is the difference.

Hey ssnobben,
can not change group category type front end or backend for groups

It is possible to change a group category from the backend only...
Go to Groups listing and in the dropdown top menu Other Actions > Switch Category
But this is in ES 3.2, not tested in the Beta 4

So you are stucked once a group is created for a category and you can n o t change it in frontend as user or admin in the backend!

But this is in ES 3.2, not tested in the Beta 4

Changing a category for groups, pages and events is already possible since version 3.x from the back-end but not the front-end. If changing a category is not working for you from the back-end, please raise a new issue
