 * I was very excited about the recent upgrade in that I could reassign deleted 
   users posts.
 * Then I found out that I could only do it at the time of deletion.
 * What about the users who have already been deleted – can I reassign their posts–
   That is what I really want.
 * Over to you.
 * Many thanks

 * Hello [@supernova42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supernova42/)
 * I dont really see a need for implementing this because its a feature for one-
   time usage only. Future user-deletions are covered by the new re-assign feature.
 * If you want to re-assign specific posts a simple SQL-Query can also do the trick:
 * > UPDATE wp_forum_posts SET author_id = 2 WHERE author_id = 1;
 * Where 2 is the ID of the new user and 1 is the ID of the deleted user.
