How do I move a blog post to another space?
Asked by Marcel Plomp:

Rather than deleting a blog post we would like to move it to an "archive space". Is this possible?

All blog posts older than 1 year should be moved to this space, so users can still see the content.

body: When I choose 'Move' on more recent blog posts, the page reloads and rerenders and no menu shows up. Seems a clear bug. 100% reproducible.

Reading the the documentation on this page about moving a blog

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF56/Working%20with%20Blog%20Posts>

Documentation states that

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

"Editing a blog post is similar to [editing](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF56/Using+the+Editor) any other page in Confluence. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

* You cannot change the date of an existing blog post. You can only backdate when adding a blog post.
* **You cannot move a blog post to another space.(my emphasis)**
* A blog post has no parent."

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

It then goes to advise how to move a blog post in the following paragraph:

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

"Moving a blog post {#toc-hId--1329496746}
------------------------------------------

If you create a blog post in the incorrect space, or want to reorganise your spaces, you can move an individual blog post to another space.

To move a blog post go to the post and choose **Tools** \> **Move**and select the new destination space.

You will need the 'Delete blog' permission in the current space and 'Add blog' permission in the new (destination) space to do this. "

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Might want to clarify/reword.

Cheers

body: Thanks for pointing that out! It must have been missed when we added the functionality to move blogs, and updated the docs. I've removed the incorrect line now :)


author: Denise Unterwurzacher [Atlassian]
body: This has now been implemented in Confluence 5.5 and above: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-2455>

comments: author: Karsten Hilgers
body: But I still don't see how to do it? I'm using Confluence 5.6.5 Server.


author: Denise Unterwurzacher [Atlassian]
body: Hi Boris! I found this in the docs (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/doc/Blog+Posts>): "To move a blog post, go to the post and choose \* \* \* \> Move and select the new destination space. You'll need the 'Delete blog' permission in the current space, and 'Add blog' permission in the new (destination) space to do this."(\* \* \* is the three dots in the top right hand corner that gives you a dropdown menu) It sounds like you might not have permission to delete the blog from the current space, so I'd start by checking that. If you're still stuck you can always raise a Support Request at <https://support.atlassian.com>, and we can help you out :)


author: Rainee Rohrbacher
body: I still do not see a way to move blog posts. We are restructuring some of our intranet and I need to be able to move blogs from one space to another. The Information still states:

Move a blog post

If you create a blog post in the wrong space, or want to reorganize your spaces, you can move an individual blog post to another space.

To move a blog post, go to the post and choose \*\*\* \> Move and select the new destination space.

You'll need the 'Delete blog' permission in the current space, and 'Add blog' permission in the new (destination) space to do this.

There is no "more" under the ...

There is also no "Tools" to move the blog post.

Timely Help would be greatly appreciated.
