when changing group name, the slug is not changed

[k0rp0rate]

If you create a group, and after that you want to rename the group... There is no problem to do it, you can change, but the group slug will be not changed.

So all users can see FOREVER the old name of the group in the group slug.

I think this is a important and basic defect that must would be solved soon.

This is the intended behavior. If the slug is changed then all of the external links to that group will be broken. I think this would be an enhancement to create the ability to support the renaming of a slug while still routing from "old" slugs.

Ok, in that case, I think that the way WordPress gives the user a field below the post/page title to edit the slug when you're in the post/page edit screen, must be the way to use in BuddyPress to change (if you want) group slug easy and fast ;)

This will come "for free" when we use custom post types

There is a plugin for this:

Still valid, we should probably store the old slug as meta, and do a 301 redirect; just like how WP handles changes to page slugs.
