Reassign Table Author

Hi Andy,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

No, sorry, at the moment, there’s no users interface for that.
If you really need this, you could install the TablePress Debug Extension from https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-debug.zip . That exposes the internal data format of tables (in the “TP Tables” admin menu entry) and allows changing the author.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I still cannot find the option to change the Author under ‘TP Tables’
Do I need to add support for author to tablepress post type? e.g.

add_post_type_support( ‘tablepress_table’, ‘author’ )

Even tho I thought this would already have been done.
Thanks

Hi,

ah, yes, you are right. TablePress does not register support for that by default.
It’s however easily added: In the Extension’s “tablepress-debug.php” file, just add this line

$post_type_args['supports'][] = 'author';

after line

$post_type_args['supports'][] = 'custom-fields';

in the extend_post_type_args() function.

Tobias

Thanks, I managed to do it, any chance you will be adding this functionality to the actual tablepress plugin? Thanks ??

Hi,

Great to hear that this helped!

I do have this on my list actually, but it has a rather low priority. I just don’t think that many people will actually want to change the author of a table, at least I can’t recall any requests or questions for this besides yours.

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
