  • Great Plugin

    This is a fantastic plugin from a good developer. As of Sep 2023 it now works with WordPress 6.3.1 I never like to issue SQL updates against a live database. But this plugin offers an easy way to change the author on all media in just a few clicks. It's a real timesaver. Thank you.

  • Works with WordPress 5.7.1

    I used it on WordPress 5.7.1. The plugin does what it should do. I do not want to use the admin user any longer for security reasons. So I assigned all the posts and media file to a different user.

  • Excellent Plugin

    So easy to change ownership of media files now. Great for when you want users of the site to only have access to their own files. Very neat and clear interface when you actually change the ownership of the files.

  • Excellent

    I can confirm that this plugin works with WordPress 5.4.1. It has a simple job and performs it to my total satisfaction.
