While working on a project there was a situation where I needed to change the author assigned to a WooCommerce product. The product author was receiving unwanted notifications when reviews for the product were being left. We did not want to turn the notifications off; we just wanted them to go to a different author or user. Changing the author is easily possible with posts and pages, but the option isn't available by default for WooCommerce products.
Adding the functionality is very simple - it involves adding author support to the product post type which can be accomplished by adding the following to your theme's functions.php file:
if ( post_type_exists( 'product' ) ) {
add_post_type_support( 'product', 'author' );
}
However, for users who don't want to touch the functions.php file, or would prefer a solution that is not restricted to a theme, I created this simple plugin. Just activate the plugin with WooCommerce also installed and you will be able to change the author of a product as if it were a standard post or page.
