Easysocial Shows Wrong User Name After Changing Author

Hi,

I created a post in the backend and set a different author in the Easyblog backend. The substituted author shows on the Easyblog modules (on the homepage - ie. Random Post Module) but the Easysocial stream shows that it was created by the Admin user, not the substituted user (see attached image).

Can I change this in the Database? Also, is there a way to fix this so it doesn't happen in future?

Cheers, David
Hi David,
Can I change this in the Database?
You can edit the actor_id value for the stream item in the tables below.


*__social_stream_item

*__social_stream
This is actually the standard behavior where changing the author of the blog post does not change the creator of previous stream items.

Think of it as an activity history. As you change the author, the 'blog post update' stream item will show the new author's name, but the old stream items still show the author of the post from back then.
