Can't move settlers to other settlements

[InvaderGator]

Every time I try to move companions or settlers to another settlement they don't go to the settlement. They go back to the settlement they were originally in and don't move. I can go back into the move menu and select the settlement I want to move them to but again but nothing happens. I have max charisma and the settlement has 4 people and isn't grayed out.

I've run into a 'glitch' where it can take like a day or two (game time) for a change to a settler to go through. This includes assigning a settler to a resource. Most often this happens when settlers are from a location that is populated quite heavily (15 to 20+). I'll receive random "that resource is now assigned" hours or days later when I've assigned a settler to a food or scavenging station.

Not totally related, but:
I also think that provisioners temporarily count as residents of settlements, which throws off the population count and happiness stats shown on the Pip-Boy when you are away from a settlement compared to the stats and count shown in the crafting screen at the location itself. So multiple provisioners linked to one location can end up camping at said location all at once, so extra beds and resources to support the number of provisioners can help with the happiness stat.

I await an answer to your inquiry as well as I do not know if there is a fix for this, other than perhaps modding the game. cheers.

are you trying to move "Settler" or actual named npcs, like preston, marcy or mama murphy? codsworth doesn't like to move until you finish a couple quests, he will act like he's going, then just go back to your old house again.
so, named characters might be they have a mission they'd like you to do first?

if it's just someone named "settler" (still could be a radiant mission) they usually move fine for me, just takes them some time to get there, i can go back and forth twice and they still won't be there sometimes, but they do eventually get there.

of course there is also the always asked question: are you using any mods? even if you don't think it should effect your settlers, they sometimes do.

I've just decided to deal with it. I think I uninstalled a castle mod mid play though so I believe that is what may be causing it.

If the place you are sending them to is a long ways they will not arrive. I can not remember why but there is a post some where about this or online. Suggestion, https://www.gosunoob.com/fallout-4/how-to-start-supply-lines-and-move-settlers/ ,
