Change owner of the post [Duplicate]

If you are wishing for further clarification please bump your original thread

Would it be possible to get a plugin that can change the owner/creator of a post? That would come in handy when members leave, for example. Of course another user could just create a new thread, but then the thread gets pumped on top of the list. So plugin to change the owner of a post would be great.

Plugins can only mask the author not change it on the backend (the server). Plugins can only run on the frontend (in your browser) and have no access to the backend.

Some existing plugins that can "change" post authors:

• Alters
• Custom Mini-profile Creator
• NPC Profiles

Would be great to be able to change who created or owns a thread/post. Preferably you could only change the creator from the admin plugin page only. Appreciate if someone could make a plugin like this!

Any staff member who has the ability to move posts/threads can take ownership of a thread (usurp the creator) by moving the posts within that thread to a new thread. The attribution of someone's work however is protected (as it should be) and can only be changed in special circumstances (ex: user deleted).

Plugins do not have access to PB server so technically cannot do what you are asking but can probably fake it, the following plugins might fit the bill:

1. NPC Posts
   

   
   
   

2. Alters
