Hi,

I have been using wpDiscuz for some time now. It is an awesome commenting plugin. 🙂

 

Most of things work just fine but I noticed that all the authors of old comments show up as guests. For example, the comment from posts author from an year earlier is also labelled as "Guest". However, the comments have proper labels.

I recently messed up my `postsmeta` table. Did this change the author labels for old comments. If it did, how can I correct the author labels again?

For example, the comment from a post author now labels him as "Guest". How can I again get the "Author" label back on those comments?

Thanks.

Hi @astghik,

I have sent the email. New comments show the right user roles. Only the old ones label everyone as Guest.

Thanks.

@astghik

Do you have any update regarding this issue?

There is no problem if the author roles on old comments can't be changed. There are just two comments anyway. 🙂

Thanks.

@wpdiscuznoob

ok, we've found the reason for the issue. Somehow the user Id and the comments are not connected with each other. Probably the user was deleted and the new user was added with the same email and name, but in this case, IDs are not the same. 

You should find and change the userID for the current comments.
