Those guest post have no ID now, so there is no way to associate them to an account.
You would need to make a new account, then go into the database and assign those post to that new ID.

Not exactly.
The system STILL lists them as users even though they get listed as guests because they cannot register under their old ID. Their old ID is allocated somewhere. I would love t0o tweak the database to make this ID active again if possible, and if their posts have NOT been un-attributed to them (which I suspect), then they would have them back.

I suspect that the links in the database are NEVER actually broken. All that happens is that the user is listed as a Guest. I want to tweak the database to change that.

If that cannot happen, then your way. Create a new ID and attribute their Guest posts to it as you say. How would you do that?

Right now, you CANNOT create a new account and MERGE the posts from the new account with the GUEST posts using the system post-merge or user-merge functions.

And this is what I want to do.

Thanks.
