Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter Screenshot

Ghostwriter is a Movable Type plugin adding an author field to Edit Entry and Edit Page screens.

To edit the author of an Entry or Page, a user must have the role of Editor or Blog Administrator.

This plugin is perfect for those who commonly create content for which their boss to takes credit!

Requires Movable Type 4.0 or greater.

Note: changing author of pages is broken due to an issue in MT4.01. I’ll post more info here when this is fixed in MT.

beau, any updates on how to get this awesome plugin to work in MT 4.01?

@hank - it does work in 4.01 for Entries, but not for pages due to a bug in MT. It now works in MT4.1 and MT4.2

Feature Request - Add support for changing comment author

try to change page author with mt4.23, but it didn’t work for me in 2 installations.

While I can’t determine why the plugin is not working for you in your 4.23 install, I can tell you how to change this another way:

  1. Go to “Manage Pages” screen
  2. Click the checkbox for the entries you wish to change the author of
  3. Select “Batch Edit Pages” in the “More actions…” menu
  4. Click the name of the author, and follow the steps to choose a new author.

Cheers.
