We had our first request under the GDPR to remove an account. When we complied, we were warned that all posts would be attributed to Guest. That's what we expected and wanted to happen.
However, that is not what actually happened.
Instead, all those posts now show this:
This is clearly a very serious problem for anyone who has to deal with the GDPR.
Now, two questions:
1. How do I fix this? The member's account no longer exists so I cannot do a search for his 2300+ posts because it returns nothing found.And I cannot search for Guest because there are no posts attributed to Guest in a search.
2. How do I prevent this happening in the future?
