I am trying to use a view with a conditional, and I only want to select the posts where the current users 'location' (user field) is equal to the author of the posts 'location'.

Nothing is coming up in the view and I suspect it is the conditional causing the problem. Have I referred to the author's location incorrectly?

[wpv-conditional if="('[types usermeta="location"][/types]' eq [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="location"])"]

1. Select the posts where the current users 'location' (user field) is equal to the author of the posts 'location'.

So how do you populate the User Meta Field 'location' with the author of the posts 'location'?

What is User Meta Field 'location' holding? (user_id or something else?)

2. According to above info we can craft a code.

As tip, use the "conditional Output" button, and create the condition.

Then, insert the Meta Fields with the Fields and Views Button and change the double apostrophes to single ones, if the ShortCode has some.

Thank you for your patience.
