    Hello,

    Please what could be wrong with this code I cant get it to work. I want all published posts to be assigned to a specific user when user accounts are being deleted in the frontend.

     // Reassign and attribute post of deleted users to the ghost member with ID 
function reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter($user_id, $reassign) {
    // Check if the deleted user is not the target user (466526)
    if ($user_id !== 4767868) {
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'author' => $user_id, // Posts authored by the deleted user
            'posts_per_page' => -1, // Get all posts
            'fields' => 'ids', // Retrieve only post IDs
            'post_status' => 'publish', // Only published posts
        );
        $posts = get_posts($args);
        // Reassign published posts to user with ID 466526
        foreach ($posts as $post_id) {
            $post_status = get_post_status($post_id);
            if ($post_status === 'publish') {
                wp_update_post(array(
                    'ID' => $post_id,
                    'post_author' => 4767868,
                ));
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action('deleted_user', 'reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter', 10, 2);

    Hi Brajesh

    I finally got it to work with this code, kindly review

    I really think this would help with buddyblog when multiple authors delete their account, lots of 404 errors would be prevented

    Also note that the ghostwriter account is just a non active account used to preserve useful content from deleted accounts.

     function reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter($user_id) {
    // Check if the deleted user is not the target user (466526)
    if ($user_id !== 466526) {
        $args = array(
            'post_type'      => 'post',
            'author'         => $user_id, // Posts authored by the deleted user
            'posts_per_page' => -1,       // Get all posts
            'fields'         => 'ids',    // Retrieve only post IDs
            'post_status'    => 'publish',// Only published posts
        );
        $posts = get_posts($args);
        // Reassign published posts to user with ID 466526
        foreach ($posts as $post_id) {
            $post_status = get_post_status($post_id);
            if ($post_status === 'publish') {
                wp_update_post(array(
                    'ID'          => $post_id,
                    'post_author' => 466526,
                ));
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action('bp_core_pre_delete_account', 'reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter', 10, 1);

    it might also be advisable to also use this code to disable comments on posts attributed to the non active user

     function disable_comments_on_single_post_by_user() {
    if (is_singular('post')) {
        $post_id = get_queried_object_id(); // Get the current post ID

        // Get the post's author ID and comment status
        $post_author_id = get_post_field('post_author', $post_id);
        $comment_status = get_post_field('comment_status', $post_id);

        // Check if the post author's ID matches the specified user ID and comments are open
        if ($post_author_id == 466526 && $comment_status === 'open') {
            // Update post's comment status to 'closed'
            wp_update_post(array(
                'ID'             => $post_id,
                'comment_status' => 'closed',
            ));
        }
    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'disable_comments_on_single_post_by_user');

    Hello Tosin,

    Please try the following code

    
function reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter( $user_id ) {
	// Check if the deleted user is not the target user (466526)
	if ( $user_id !== 466526 ) {
		$args  = array(
			'post_type'      => 'post',
			'author'         => $user_id, // Posts authored by the deleted user
			'posts_per_page' => - 1,       // Get all posts
			'fields'         => 'ids',    // Retrieve only post IDs
			'post_status'    => 'publish',// Only published posts
		);
		$posts = get_posts( $args );
		// Reassign published posts to user with ID 466526
		foreach ( $posts as $post_id ) {
			// As we are fetching only published posts of the deleted user.
			// $post_status = get_post_status( $post_id );
			// if ( $post_status === 'publish' ) {
			wp_update_post( array(
				'ID'             => $post_id,
				'post_author'    => 466526,
				'comment_status' => 'closed',
			) );
			//}
		}
	}
}

add_action( 'bp_core_pre_delete_account', 'reassign_posts_on_user_deletion_to_ghostwriter', 10, 1 );

    You can make commenting disabled at the time of re-assigning the published post. Please give it a try.

    Regards
    Ravi
