I want to move posts, private messages from one user to another one, from user 2 (membership 2) to user 4 (membership 4). I don't want to delete user 2 but I want his posts to be 0 and his posts will be moved to user 4.
Please tell me about the SQL query or any code to do this.
What is the reason you need the user to have id = 2? Id's are only internal reference numbers and have no special meaning.
Is there a reason why changing the userid of the 'new' member in the user table back to '2' wouldn't work so long as there is no existing entry for user '2.'?
Userid's are referenced in many places, so it is not a simple change.

I strongly suggest you change your method, as this is really limiting your options. A userid is only a reference number and should never be given any meaning.
OK is there a ways to change the user ID from starting from 1 to start from 0? or to start from 10 for example?
The problem is that in posbit_lagacy template I have a field which shows the membership number which is the same as ID
Although this would be a 'dirty' fix you could include a conditional so that "if userid = 750, display userid = 2" in the postbit... If this is the only member you need to do this for it will work but would totally suck for multiple members.
