Wrong author displayed at bottom of posts when activating MaxGalleria

    Hi, I just noticed an odd issue when I activate the MaxGalleria plug-in on my theme. The author at the bottom of all displayed posts changes to my admin user. However, the author at the top of the post remains OK. Also, when I make modifications to a setting on my theme, I often have to reload the author avatar pic since the link gets broken when the MaxGalleria plug-in is active. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I really enjoy using the MaxGalleria plug-in and its add-ons and hope there is a solution for this! Please see the behaviour by going to bottom of any post off my site (located between the social media likes section and the comment section) https://www.mcmdaily.com. Thanks!

    dano222,

    Yes, this is happening because Maxgalleria uses a WordPress loop to display a gallery and in the process the page/post author data is replaced by the gallery author data. Before displaying the gallery I can save the page/post author data and restore it after the gallery is displayed. I’ll include this in the next release of Maxgalleria.

    Ok, that makes sense. I am only having problems with posts that I changed the author. Until the next release, how would I go about changing the author on select galleries? There doesn’t seem to be the same option available as a regular post.

    Thanks.

    You can manually change the author of a gallery by running a simple SQL command in your cPanel’s phpMyAdmin program.

    First determine the user ID of the author you want to attribute to the galley and also find out the Gallery ID where you want to change the author.

    To find the ID of the author, go to Users in your WordPress dashboard. Move your mouse over the User Name/link of the user and watch your browser’s status bar, if available, to see the URL that the link points to. In that URL you will see ‘user_id=’ followed by a number. That number is the user ID. Then do the same on the Galleries page, where it will have ‘post=’ followed by a number. That will be the gallery ID. In my example case the user ID is 2 and the gallery ID is 6. Then you can navigate to phpMyAdmin and open your sites database. Click on the SQL tab. and enter the following command with the correct user ID and gallery ID. You will also have to use the correct database prefix for this to work. In this case the prefix is ‘wp_’ which is added to the front of the ‘posts’ table. Your database prefix may be different.

    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author = 2 WHERE ID = 6;

    and press the Go button.

    Now the gallery with ID 6 has the user with the ID of 2 as its author.
