Tell us what you are trying to do?

I made a post type called Wiadomosci

and added group of fields (odbiorca, email, etc.)

I have created form with this fields

Now i want to:

- display view depanding on this scheme:
user ID or username must be equal to odbiorca (odbiorca isn't a post author but he must see posts that he is set as odbiorca)

What is the link to your site?

Hi there

I think you need to choose between user ID or username.

You can add a Query Filter to your View that specifies that the field for the user ID or username is set by a shortcode attribute.

Then when you insert the View on a page set the corresponding shortcode attribute using the wpv-user shortcode (specifying whether you want to output the ID or the username): https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-user

You can read about passing values to Views with shortcode attributes here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/

If you have problems let me know and I'll help, but please specify whether your custom field stores the user ID or username.
