Large Scale Planes Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 As the title says, I'm wondering if it's possible to assign "guest" posts to a community member. I sometimes need to do this when a member leaves, their content gets converted to "guest" status, and then they decide to return some time later with a new account. I've also just come across a rather bizarre situation where a long-time member created a thread, and then several of his posts in that thread were attributed to "guest". We don't allow guests to post, so I have no idea how this happened, but I'd like to assign those posts to the actual member who made them if possible. Is it possible?

This made me realise that all I had to do was update the user data for the relevant posts in the database, and all is right with the world.

You’ll also need to update the search index Large Scale Planes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
