I have custom post type called "Listing" and custom fields on Users.

In the Content Template for Listings, I am trying to implement a conditional output based on whether a User custom field (on the author's user record) is populated or not. The custom field on the user record is called "usermemberlogo".

This is my code so far:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-usermemberlogo) ne '' )"]
[types usermeta='usermemberlogo' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='medium' resize='proportional' user_is_author='true'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

How can I adapt this so that the conditional looks at the user record for the author of the post?

Thanks

Emma

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can use the same Types shortcode with your conditional statement.

Could you please try the following code and try to resolve your issue.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta='usermemberlogo' output='raw' user_is_author='true'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types usermeta='usermemberlogo' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='medium' resize='proportional' user_is_author='true'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]
