Update A Users Post Count?

[g0dfather]

I swear there used to be an option on 3.7 that you could update a users post count manually.

How do I go about doing on 3.8? Is there a query I can run? I wish not to run "Update post count" due to post count may decrease.

You could run:

update user set postcount = XXX where userid = YYYY.

XXX is the postcount and YYYY is the userid. However we don't recommend manipulating the database like this and you do so at your own risk.

There's still an option to manually edit individual post counts. Go to the edit user part of the admincp, then look on the left hand side. (On the user profile pane) and at the bottom of that pane, there's a field to the right of where it says "Post Count".

I believe it used to be on the right hand side, so I'm guessing that's why you've missed it.

Hope that helps.
