Bulk way to change author of every image within an album?

[Maxxius]

Hello, has anyone got an idea how to bulk change author of a few albums full of thousands of gallery images?

Back in the 3.4.x days I uploaded a lot of pictures and that was not taken into the whole "content" count.

And now after upgrading I have like 26k posts / content. I wish I could create a bot user and give him the ownership of those pictures.

You can select the type of content to increment content count.

Not recommended but you can change ownership directly in database via query and then recount content from you and from the bot account.

Looks like you got a solution for every problem 😄

@Adriano Faria hmm I'm thinking, how do you recount content for one's account?
