 * Just installed and activated the plugin.
 * All seems fine so far… However I am having a slight issue.
 * After activating I am presented with this message:
 * If there are any previously installed theme or plugin that added tables to the
   database, you should check if any field in these tables includes user_ids, and
   manually replace all the rows referencing user_id 1 with the new user_id
 * I don’t know if any previous theme or plugin has done this. Could you please 
   advise how you do this? How do you check / manually replace rows with these tables?
 * I’m not sure what tables it’s referencing, where to find these tables and how
   to change the IDs.
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi!
 * The plugin only carries out the user_id substitution in the default WordPress
   tables wp_users and wp_usermeta, and in the table wp_posts for the post_author
   meta.
 * You should check your database, checking for tables including user_id columns,
   or metadata tables checking for metadata referencing user ids.
 * Certainly, this is a bit tricky step, but unfortunately I cannot give support
   to the whole WordPress ecosystem!
