Hi, I have accidentally deleted a user.
Fortunately all her threads and posts are still on my forum (I deleted only username) but all posts/threads are posted as guest.
I have re-created user (username, password, her email), but how can I assign posts/thread on forum again to this user?
Thank you
The easiest way would be to edit the user's UID back to the old UID in the database. You can do this in the mybb_users table using phpMyAdmin.
Ok, then:
- I create again user with the same username and email (for example her new UID now is 1234);
- I go in Phpmyadmin and select my database;
- Then click on "Search" and in form I write:
Quote:Word "her old username (now guest with UID 0)"
Select all tables
In the field "username" (not her username but the field username);
And I search
In this way her old username is only in the field "username".
Then I click on "Show" in the results and in each post and thread I change UID from 0 to 1234?
Thanks
Yep, that should do the trick
Ok, I had 400 results
I have tried this and works:
UPDATE
mybb_threads SET
uid = 'new uid of user created' WHERE
username = 'username of user';
UPDATE
mybb_posts SET
uid = 'new uid of user created' WHERE
username = 'username of user';
Now works, thanks
