    Is there a way we can randomise every users ID who are already registered not just the USER 1 & new registered users.

    I need a unique code for all members but already have 160 registered members.

    Thanks

  • The plugin doesn’t do this in an automated way because the actions to be carried out depend greatly on the plugins and customizations you have in the site.

    In a WordPress-only (without plugins) for every user you’ll need to replace its user ID in table users (ID), usermeta (user_id), posts (post_author), comments (comment_author).

    But as you install other plugins, the number of places in the database in which the user IDs appear is greater.

    As I cannot know about all existing plugins, and as leaving just one of the DB fields containing a user ID without replacing could potentially break the site in unexpected ways, I took the decision of not supporting this case of use.

    If you need this, I recommend you to carry out the needed actions directly on the database.

    Due to the fact i installed on an established website on my forum it now says i’m a deleted user. Is there anyway to keep the new users unique but get my ID back to 1?
