Problem:
The customer has two custom post types: "Providers" and "Offers," where each "Offer" is linked to a "Provider." After editing some Offers, they noticed that these Offers were no longer visible to the original Providers in their front-end accounts and appeared under the customer's admin account instead. The original Providers could no longer edit their Offers without accessing the WordPress backend. The customer wanted to know how to make the Offers appear again in the original creators' front-end accounts and whether it was possible to edit Offers from other Providers without changing the Offer ownership.
Solution:
When editing the posts in the backend, the post author was being overwritten with the current user (the customer's admin account). To prevent this, it was suggested to go to Toolset > Post Types, edit the "Offer" custom post type, and enable the "Post author" option in the Supports section. This change would allow setting the post author when editing, ensuring the original author remains unchanged, and maintaining proper ownership visibility on the front end.
