Attribute Posts to New User
Quote from jimcroisdale on July 19, 2018, 2:53 pmI have a user on my forum that’s been locked out of his account (I can fix that!)
In the meantime he’s created a new account and has posted using that.
When I fix his original account and get him back in, can I attribute his new posts to his old account name?

There is no built-in functionality for this yet because otherwise it could lead to some easy manipulations of moderators like creating bad posts and assign them to specific users to create some fake-reasons to ban them.
But you can modify the corresponding database-fields to change the post-assignments. The ID of specific posts are stored in the author_id field inside the wp_forum_posts table. You can modify them easily with a tool like phpMyAdmin which is available for most webhosting provider.
