Hi I need to change the author of the above Initiative, to the Author below

https://transitionnetwork.org/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=8572&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php%3Fs%3Dian%2Bjackson%26action%3D-1%26new_role%26paged%3D1%26action2%3D-1%26new_role2

How do I do this please?

Hi Sam,

I've just done this one for you - but the process is as follows:

• go into the user who needs to become the author
• change their permission level to be 'contributor' (this is only temporary)
• save the new settings
• go into the relevant initiative and scroll down the spage until you find the 'author' section
• select the person's name from the list
• save the new settings
• once done, go back to the user who you just made a contributor, and revert them back to being a subscriber (their name still stays as the author once you've done this)
