Hello, a member recently registered on my site. I had published some of his YouTube videos under my name, and now I would like to change the owner of these topics to his name. Unfortunately, I am getting an ownership attribution error. Do you have any idea what might be causing this error? Thanks.
AI-generated summary
patrickemin encountered an error while trying to transfer ownership of auto-published YouTube video topics to a new member, suspecting it was related to ActivityPub. JammyDodger suggested checking browser console and logs for clues, but patrickemin found only general warnings in the console. After confirming the posts were auto-published via ActivityPub Lilly, Lilly noted this is a known limitation of the ActivityPub plugin. Jagster shared a workaround: temporarily moving the topic to a non-federated category, changing ownership, then moving it back. patrickemin successfully applied this method and confirmed the issue was resolved, thanking both Lilly and Jagster.
There’s often a bit more detail in the /logs or browser console, if you can check those for extra clues. 
Hmm 
I would have expected to see something in both those places. Was that a shot of the browser console when you attempted to perform the change ownership?
did you originally publish them with ActivityPub?
Yes it was auto published
that’s probably why.
Well, I’m changing quite often ownership of federated posts. But I admit — I change it before that topic/OP has federated, so perhaps I should say I’m changing ownership of a post that will be federated.
If I remember right I have changed ownership of already federated one by moving that topic under un-federating category, did it there and moved back to original category.
Will try that, thanks!
Solved, thanks both of you !
