If you have shell access to the forum, you can also move a topic to a sub-sub-category using these commands (replace `<topic_id>` and `<to_category_id>` with the IDs taken from the address bar of the browser):

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse/
./launcher enter app
rails c
Topic.where(id: <topic_id>).update_all(category_id: <to_category_id>)

```
