  I’ve added a new “User field” in a CPT and wish to link the posts to specific users as I do not wish to change the author.

  How would you go in order to display these relationships? I can get it working in making a repeater to show all of the authors posts. Don’t know where to start in order to display the User Field relationships…

  The code i’m using to display the if usert = Author posts is the following.

  <?php
  
  function dynamic_ids_query( $query ) {
  global $post;
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  $authorID = $current_user->ID;
  if ( $query->query['post_type'][0] == 'taktiko-mitroo' or 'post' ) {
  $query->set( 'author', $authorID );
  }
  }
  add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'dynamic_ids_query' );
  ?>
  

  Any way to change it and make it to work for if user = user from the relationship?

  You would have to alter the query by adding a meta_query for the user field.

  
  $meta_query = array(
    array(
      'key' => 'user_field_name',
      // user field is stored as a serialized array
      // of string User IDs
      // value must be enclosed in quotes
      // compare must be LIKE
      'value' => '"'.$user_id.'"',
      'compare' => 'LIKE'
    )
  );
  $query->set('meta_query', $meta_query);
