Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Change WooCommerce Product Author – Transfer Ownership of WooCommerce Products version 2.0.0 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
By default, WooCommerce does not allow store owners to easily change or reassign product author ownership from the admin dashboard or perform bulk author transfers. Change WooCommerce Product Author solves this problem by giving store managers complete control over product authorship, bulk migrations, and author role permissions.
Whether you run a multi-vendor store, manage multiple store managers, or need to reassign products from a departing team member, this plugin makes transferring WooCommerce product ownership effortless.
🌟 Key Features
Change WooCommerce Product Author Easily: Reassign product author ownership in Quick Edit, Edit Product, or via the Bulk Transfer tool.
Bulk Product Author Transfer: Transfer multiple products from one author to another in seconds with optional category filters.
Admin Dashboard & Analytics: Visual charts showing product counts per author, percentage store shares, and author activity metrics.
Author Role & Permission Control: Granular matrix control to define who can change product authors, perform bulk migrations, or restrict authors to managing only their own products.
WooCommerce List Table Filter & Column: Filter products by author directly in the WooCommerce Products table and see the Author column at a glance.
Frontend Product Author Card: Display customizable product author bio boxes and avatars on single product pages (inside tabs or summary).
High-Performance & HPOS Ready: Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), WordPress 6.7+, and PHP 8.2+/8.3+.
🎯 Common Use Cases
Reassign products when an author, vendor, or store employee leaves.
Transfer bulk products from a temporary admin account to designated store vendors.
Restrict vendor/author roles so they can only view and manage their own products in WP Admin.
Show author/creator credentials on product pages to build customer trust.
