Want to change ownership of all the posts by a specific user? Let’s do it!
If your site is hosted by Discourse, please reach out to our support team at team@discourse.org if you need to change ownership of all posts from a user.
Access Your Site
First connect to your Droplet via SSH, and enter the Docker container for your Discourse instances:
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
Change ownership of all public posts
rake users:change_post_ownership["old_username","new_username"]
The above command will transfer ownership of all public topics/posts by @old_username to @new_username.
Change ownership of all private posts
rake users:change_post_ownership["old_username","new_username",private]
The above command will transfer ownership of all private messages (topics/posts) by @old_username to @new_username.
