:warning: As of Discourse 2.5.0 beta 3 Merge users is built into Discourse :warning:

See: Discourse 2.5.0.beta3 Release Notes

This plugin will not be supported long term and may break soon…

Update Dec 2022: I think a recent software update has meant that the plugin causes an error when someone is not an admin:

Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Could not find module admin/models/admin-user imported from discourse/plugins/discourse-merge-users/discourse/components/merge-users-form

So if anyone else still has this plugin installed, now is the time to uninstall it.

Github repository

With this plugin you can easily merge two users together.

Installation

Just add one line to your app.yml:

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/curiousdannii/discourse-merge-users.git

Then rebuild the container:

cd /var/discourse
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

Moving this to #plugin:broken-plugin

Nothing bad at all about @Dannii’s excellent work here, but we have no need for this plugin anymore since it is all built into Discourse, leaving the link and topic around mainly as an educational artifact.

Sweet! Always a compliment when your plugin idea gets incorporated into the core software!
