Hi,

I have a site where I need to change the author of a number of articles from one K2 user to another.

What's the best way to achieve this?

Thanks

best, eaisest, fastest,
Do you want to change all the items by one author to another author
Do you want to change all the items by one author in one category to another author
Using phpmy admin and executing a single statement will do what you want

Hi,

Author1 has a number of items in various categories.

I need to change the author of all of Author1's items to Author2

Both Author1 and Author2 exist as K2 Users.

This means Author1 will end up with no articles and Author2 will end up with many articles.

This site was imported across from a bodged wordpress site so I need to assign the correct authorship to the articles.

I'm quite happy using phpmyadmin or any other method.

Thanks

Simply select the items in the admin area and click on the batch button.

Thanks Krikor!

Why didn't I see the Batch button :)

Not worked.

I select all the items, 580 of them, click the Batch button, select author on the pulldown, check the assign box, click Apply and the page immediately drops out to the Joomla control panel.

Worked up from 10, 20 items to 50 items and that works so will just run through in batches of 50.

Obviously a limit somewhere of how many items the batch method can deal with in one hit.

I didnt see it there either:)

It's not a Joomla! nor a K2 limit.
Your hosting environment can't handle this massive operation.
You were pretty much strangling your server.
