edit the article and set the new author in the options. It's the same for any Joomla version.
Under the Publishing Tab there's a field called "Created by" (i.e. the author of the article). Change that by selecting an existing user (click the "person" icon at the end of that field). It won't retain "ID 62" but will be whatever ID is assigned to that particular user record in the database).
I found this handy guide: https://kevinsguides.com/guides/webdev/ ... le-basics/
As @per said, perhaps at the time of the no-errors in October, the User with "ID 62" still existed but was subsequently deleted. Doing so leaves the article effectively "orphaned" so it can't do anything other than say "author ID XX not found" since Joomla is a dynamic CMS not creating static pages and so would retrieve the author info every time the page is requested as the system ''rebuilds" the page every time.
