Hi,

I have a functionality installed which adds to a CPT the array of user_IDs who have favourited a post in the field "favourite".
Now I want to show a view only showing the favourites of the current user.
Can I do this with the normal front-end?

Hi Markus,

Unfortunately, this is not applicable natively by Toolset but this can be done with some little code.

Checkout our Views filters, there is a filter to edit the query used in user Views (wpv_filter_user_query)
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-filters/#wpv_filter_user_query

Using this query, you can limit the query to return only the currently logged in user.

This is the best way you cna achieve your request using Toolset.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks.
