Move existing comments to another page

Hello Paul,
You can use ?Copy or Move Comments plugin.
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-move-comments-between-wordpress-posts/

Or,
If you are familiar and able to manage database from phpmyadmin, then you can follow this command.
“UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_post_ID = NEW_POST_ID WHERE comment_post_ID = OLD_POST_ID;”

Best regards,

Thank you for your kind response.

Unfortunately the Copy or Move Comments plugin has been removed due to security issues see: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/copy-or-move-comments/

Also I’m not familiar enough with the wordpress DB schema or even which db to look at. I am assuming it is all in a MySQL db?

Hello Paul,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you please try this plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tako-movable-comments/ ? Hopefully it will work.
You can follow this article to do that.

Thanks again, for your efforts to help me solve my problem. I looked at the Tako plugin and it may not be compatible with the latest version of WordPress:

“…This plugin?hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress…”

I’m concerned if this modifies entries in the database it could introduce significant corruption causing more serious problems.

Do you know how comments are linked to the page? Is it by page name, a unique ID. Could I possibly delete the old page and create a new one and reuse the ID.

Thank you

Hello Paul,
