Thanks,
I have submitted this to the email address with details on how to access the accounts so the team can repro.
Here are the detailed steps to reproduce
1. Create a new blog post with a basic level account and set the category to 'Advice and Encouragement' and save it (don't publish it, just save)
2. Publish the post with the editor account
Results:
Notice that the author for the blog post is correct as from the basic level account, but the author for the cross-posted forum post is incorrect, it is listed as the Editor
Background on the scenario:
We run a membership site, where members can submit blog posts to be published, but they need to be reviewed and edited by editors before being published. So every post will be submitted by a regular member, and published by an editor. The expectation is that the original submitter is credited as the author (as is correctly done for blog posts), but for cross-posted forums the editor is incorrectly credited as the author.
This used to work correctly up until around November 2024.
If instead they schedule the update to the blog post (rather than post it immediately), then the topic ID and post ID will have userID set to 0 in the database, and the result is per this original thread.
