Re: still looking for an answer
|
Thank you Bruce I get it now. After I went to General settings I changed old name¡±The-Diabetic-corner-With-Sugar¡± to new name¡± BlindDiabetics4Jesus¡± Then after the general name underneath there is subject edit field that I also changed to (BlindDiabetics4Jesus) TheURL was automatically changed and I got that as well. So far there is nothing that is updated to the file section and that part of settings is disabled for now. No pictures allowed either. I don¡¯t think uploading on the file section will occur but if there is a issue I will come back here. Thank you so much I appreciate all the advice and suggestions. Truly Sugar

Exporting the group before changing the name was a wise move!
There could be some problems that you haven't run into yet. I will give you an example...
When you upload a file, there's an opportunity to post a notice to the group. The notice subject will say something like "New file uploaded to [email protected]."?The message will contain other references to the group name, including a link to the file:
"You can access this file at the URL:
/g/groupname/files/filename.pdf (or whatever)"
Groups.io will not parse these messages and update "groupname" to "newgroupname." So the message Subject will still refer to the old group name, as will the link...if someone now clicks on it, they will get a "404 file not found" error.
Similarly, if you have manually inserted links to "groupname" content in a database, home page, or [especially] your wiki, you may find many of them to be broken. Links between items as accessed through the groups.io menu system, however, should still work.
Depending on how you use your group, such things may or may not be a big concern. Just be on the lookout for it.
Regards,
Bruce
