<p><strong>WooCommerce requires at least: 2.2</strong></p>
<p><strong>WooCommerce tested up to: 2.4.12</strong></p>
<p>While working on a project there was a situation where I needed to change the author assigned to a WooCommerce product. The product author was receiving unwanted notifications when reviews for the product were being left. We did not want to turn the notifications off; we just wanted them to go to a different author or user. Changing the author is easily possible with posts and pages, but the option isn’t available by default for WooCommerce products.</p>
<p>Adding the functionality is very simple – it involves adding author support to the product post type which can be accomplished by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>if ( post_type_exists( 'product' ) ) {
    add_post_type_support( 'product', 'author' );
}
</code></pre>
<p>However, for users who don’t want to touch the functions.php file, or would prefer a solution that is not restricted to a theme, I created this simple plugin. Just activate the plugin with WooCommerce also installed and you will be able to change the author of a product as if it were a standard post or page.<br />
After activating the plugin you will be able to change the author assigned to a WooCommerce product by editing the product in the WP dashboard. See screenshot for details.</p>
<p>If you do not see a place to change the author, check the screen options and make sure that ‘Author’ is checked. See screenshot for details.</p>
<h4>Please note that WooCommerce must be installed and activated for the plugin to work.</h4>


Change Product Author for WooCommerce

Thanks Ollie! Perfect plugin, does exactly what it says.

Out of interest, any idea why Woo does not support author in core?

Perfect, as described

This makes it easy to change the author assigned to a WooCommerce product post type.

<p>Customize your meta data instantly or just eliminate it! <a href="http://wpadmrproplus.com" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Author, Date and Meta Remover Pro+</a> is now available. WP ADMR Pro+ for Intelligent Meta Data Control.</p>
<p>WordPress has become the staple for many online business owners creating their online presence. The CMS is so easy and convenient and the themes are becoming more spectacular with every new generation. That is to say, WordPress is just not a blog anymore. Many posts in business are not time sensitive. Rather they contain information that is pertinent for many months or even a novelty that can be relevant for many years such as in evergreen businesses. A time stamp and author information stands out as unnatural and irrelevant is such posts. Now it is as simple as installing a plugin and the author meta data is gone. It’s as easy as that.</p>
<p>WP Author, Date and Meta Remover is based on the CSS model for removing author meta data from standard WordPress themes, i.e. 2011-2016. The plugin is simple; it uses a CSS file linked into the header of your pages with very simple code to remove the author meta data. There is no need to write a child theme, the plugin will do the work for you. The plugin is so simple; there is no load on runtime.</p>
<p>Please understand that the plugin is based on the standard WordPress themes 2011-2014 CSS code for removing the author meta data. It will remove the meta data for a majority of themes on the market. However, it may not work on themes produced by some theme foundries. If WP Author, Date and Meta Remover do not work with your website theme, consult the theme author for more information on removing the metadata. You’re welcome to send me the information to help build a better plugin.</p>
