Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to filter a view according to a custom user meta field value.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/filter-view-comparing-post-meta-and-user-meta/

I have a user meta field called Location, and a post custom field called Admin Location. I would like to filter the view such that users only see posts with Admin Location matching their Location.

I have added a filter on the Admin Location field using CONSTANT with the value of the shortcode: [types usermeta=location user_current=true][/types]

But the view now shows no entries found, even though there are numerous posts that would match the current user meta.

I'm sure this is something I'm doing wrong or just missing. Please advise. Thank you.
