Examples

/**
 * Filter the post author for custom purchased licenses.
 *
 * This function allows modifying the author of a product post when it's
 * associated with a custom license purchase. It checks if the current user
 * is an administrator, and if so, keeps the original author. Otherwise,
 * it assigns the post author to the current user's ID.
 *
 * @param int $original_author_id The original author ID of the post.
 * @param int $current_user_id The ID of the currently logged-in user.
 * @param string $context The context of the filter ('license-purchase').
 * @return int The author ID to be set for the post.
