Hello,

We want to move all articles from 1 category to the other, Our categories article count range is from 10 to 34,000. We tried the way mentioned here [https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-topics-to-new-category/21313](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-topics-to-new-category/21313) and it works well for few topics. Is there any other tool that help us to achieve this?

I checked myself in rails code and found a way to achieve this manually using rails console by following this piece of code  
operator = TopicsBulkAction.new(current\_user, topic\_ids, operation, group: operation[:group])  
changed\_topic\_ids = operator.perform!

Regards,  
Junaid
