Author Changes When Editing

  • So the issue is this. I manage 7 multi-author sites. When I go to edit a post by one of the authors, the post will sometimes switch to me. It doesn’t happen 100% of the time only sumetimes. It happens in the saving process and there are many cases I won’t realize this has happened untill much later. The issue has been going on for months and on all 7 sites.

    Any help would be apreciated

  • Which editor do you use to edit the pages? Is it the same for all websites?

    Yep, Gutenberg for all of them.

    I’ve been testing this for a while now and unfortunately I can’t reproduce it. You write yourself that it only happens from time to time and not always. That makes it difficult to reproduce.

    Do you also have the problem if you deactivate all plugins? These could interfere here.

    The theme can also influence this. If all pages use the same theme, that would be another indication.

    I have this exact same issue – also running a site with multiple authors – and after making some updates to existing posts, from time to time it happens that the original author is changed to me.

    After some testing I was able to reproduce the behaviour:

    It only happens if from within the posts I am making changes to one of the included, synchronized ‘reusable blocks’. It does not happen if I change some of the regular content.

    Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? It’s quite annoying because I have to double-check after making changes, that the author is still intact.
