I had some help from Minesh on this previously here:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/automatically-transferring-authorship-of-posts-on-submitting-cred-form/

I have tried what was suggested.. also referencing another support ticket and added the following code to my functions file

}
/**
* for transferring ownership of funder profiles
*/

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']== 62276)

{
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_author' => get_current_user_id(),
);

}
}

It unfortunately didn't work.. any ideas/suggestions?

Hi Peter,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Try adding the following to your post.

// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );

Thanks,
Shane
