[Resolved] Best way to setup existing memberships with WordPress User accounts

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I imported a membership website from Drupal to WordPress via a plugin (FG Drupal to WordPress Premium ). I now have a Custom Post Type (CPT) setup called Membership Profile that have all the user fields setup in it.

My question is how do I put them together so that the WordPress User account is tied together with their corresponding Member Profile?

Solution:

I suggest you setup the author of each "Membership Profile" post as the corresponding wordpress user.

If the custom post type "Membership Profile" is created with Types plugin, you can enable the "author" metabox by this:

Edit the post type "Membership Profile", in section "Sections to display when editing", enable the option "Author", when you edit a "Membership Profile" post, you will be able to setup it's author, more help:

In front-end, you can create a view lists "Membership Profile" posts filter with:

Post author is the same as the logged in user

In the view's loop display a CRED editing form link for user, update the "Membership Profile" post information

Hello,

I imported a membership website from Drupal to WordPress via a plugin (FG Drupal to WordPress Premium ). I now have a Custom Post Type (CPT) setup called Membership Profile that have all the user fields setup in it. It is also tied in with 3 taxonomies correctly so I'm happy with how everything imported. (aaimco-membership-profiles image)

It also imported all their user account information, email address/username, role and password, and placed them with in the WordPress Users account (aaimco-users image).

My question is how do I put them together so that the WordPress User account is tied together with their corresponding Member Profile?

Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to help you out. Thank you.
