The Default Post Author plugin is a powerful tool designed to simplify the process of setting a default post author on your WordPress site. With this plugin, you can easily define a default author for all new posts (and other post types), ensuring consistency and saving you valuable time.

✨ Key Features

• Easy Setup – Quick and straightforward configuration
• Modern Admin Interface – Beautiful, intuitive settings page with smooth animations
• Toggle Controls – Enable/disable features with modern toggle switches
• Multi Post-Type Support – Apply the default author to Posts, Pages and any public Custom Post Type that supports authors
• Capability-Aware Assignment – Prevents permission errors when Authors create posts (new in 2.3.0)
• Bulk Update – Update existing posts to the default author with real AJAX batching and accurate progress
• Dry-Run Mode – Preview how many posts would be changed before running a bulk update
• Post Status Filter – Limit bulk updates to Published, Draft, Pending, etc.
• Revision Sync – Keep revision authors in sync with parent posts
• WP-CLI Support – Manage settings and run bulk updates from the command line
• AJAX-Powered – Real-time saving without page reloads
• Progress Tracking – Visual progress bar for bulk operations
• Responsive Design – Works perfectly on all devices
• Lightweight – Optimized code for maximum performance
• Developer Friendly – Useful filters and actions for customization

🎨 Modern Admin Interface

• Clean, card-based layout
• Smooth animations and transitions
• Modern toggle switches
• Interactive buttons with loading states
• Toast notifications for instant feedback
• Accurate progress indicators for bulk operations
• Fully responsive design

🚀 How It Works

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Navigate to Settings > Default Post Author
3. Select your preferred default author from the dropdown
4. Choose which post types should receive the default author
5. Enable/disable features using the toggle switches
6. Save your settings – that’s it!

By selecting a default author, you ensure that every new post (of the selected types) created on your site will automatically be attributed to that specific author. This feature is particularly useful for multi-author blogs or websites where different users contribute content regularly.

🔧 Feature Toggles

• Enable Default Author – Turn the default author feature on/off without deactivating the plugin
• Only force for users who can edit others’ posts – Recommended. Prevents the permission error that Authors encounter when the plugin tries to re-assign their new posts. Admins and Editors still receive the forced default author.
• Sync Revision Authors – Keep revision authors matching the parent post author

📦 Bulk Update Existing Posts

Need to change the author of existing posts? The plugin includes a powerful bulk update feature that:

• Processes posts in real AJAX batches to prevent timeouts
• Shows accurate real-time progress
• Supports dry-run mode so you can preview changes
• Lets you filter by post status
• Provides detailed completion messages
• Works with any number of posts
