  Please, please help me! I accidentally changed the author for all my posts. I was attempting to change one author, but failed to realize that I was in the “All Posts” field as opposed to only the “Drafts” field. With one click I bulk edited all my posts to seem as if they’re by one author. Is there any way to undo this?

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to benjity.wordpress.com? If so, I do not see any other users on the blog, nor do I see that any have been removed lately.

  If you are referring to a different blog, please let me know.

  It would be helpful if you could share the URL for this blog.

  I should also note that if it’s a self-hosted blog running the WordPress software from WordPress.org, I may not be able to assist you with this.

  Unfortunately, it is wordpress.org. I have contacted the site’s founder who is able to restore the site to the previous night’s status. Hopefully then I can just start over with what I was doing today. Thanks for helping.
