# Split user posts to multiple user accounts

 * Hello,
 * Finished a site with a fresh install and new theme and migrated the users.
 * The problem is there was one user account used for 15 000 posts.
 * Does that not slow the site down?
 * Also in the drop down for users when visible there are two users for the same
   account. When something is published with that account it links to /author/wpconverter
   profile. It’s not the name of the user so assume it’s go to do with the migration.
 * How do I fix so that it points to the correct user profile?
    Also, if needed 
   how do I split the posts to multiple user accounts?
 * Thank you in advance for your help!

 * Having 15,000 posts may slow the site down whenever someone triggers a search
   of the database. You can’t do anything about that except to make sure the tables
   are optimized (you do that with a plugin). I run optimizer tools on databases
   about once a month for active blogs.
 * It makes no difference how many users the posts are allocated across.
 * It sounds like you created the username you wanted but when you imported the 
   data you did not assign the old posts to that user account; instead, the import
   created a new user account.
 * You could always delete the database, recreate it, and then run the conversion
   again.
