Hi @andrea_stand

This is absolutely possible to do and it’s really just a basic relationship querying and reverse querying.

These two different queries should get you going! If you need further extensive help you can contact me directly at [email protected] for help through our web agency.

//This should be in the loop
//Fetch an author post based on the current post authors (users) ID
$author_ID = get_the_author_meta('ID');
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'authors',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'userfieldname',
			'value' => $author_ID,
			'compare' => 'LIKE'
		)
		
	)
);
$author_query = new WP_Query($args);

//fetch all posts for the user. I'm not 100% sure the user field type returns an user object but I think so.
//It's also possible that $author is an array with user objects inside. if so change $author->ID to $author[0]->ID.
$author = get_field('userfieldname');
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'authors',
	'author' => $author->ID
);
$usersposts_query = new WP_Query($args);
