Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

If you're not seeing the option to change post author on your CPT's edit screen, you can follow these steps:

1. Please go to the edit screen of your CPT's settings from WP Admin -> Toolset -> Post Types and make sure that the checkbox for the "Author" is checked.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

2. Next, go to your CPT's individual post edit screen and if it's using the "Classic" editor and the "Author" option is still not showing, you'll need to check its option from the "Screen Options" drawer at the top.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

3. If the post edit screen is using the "Blocks" editor, the author selection options should be under the "Status & Visibility" section, in the right settings panel.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Because I was trying different role edit plugins on the CPT that was made, some permissions got messed up. Instead, I created a new CPT using the user's account and it worked.
