Hello,

The website has authors.

1./ I would like to assign a taxonomy (music style but also country and regions) to the profile of the author.

2./ Furthermore, I would like to create a relationship between authors and CPT (A author could have a relationship with

3./ Finally, I would like to be able to assign a relationship between an author and another user role (example : Artist).

Is it possible with Toolset ?

Looking forward hearing from you soon,

Hello, by default WordPress does not allow taxonomies to be applied to Users and Toolset's post relationships are limited to posts. Not directly, at least...but there is a way to work around this by using a proxy post type. Basically you create a custom post type like "Members" or "People". Then you create one post for each User - a "proxy". The User is set as the author of their post. Our documentation team put together some information about this proxy approach here: https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-create-custom-searches-and-relationships-for-users/

1./ I would like to assign a taxonomy (music style but also country and regions) to the profile of the author.
You can assign any taxonomies and terms to a proxy post type, and set each User as the author of one of these proxy posts.

2./ Furthermore, I would like to create a relationship between authors and CPT (A author could have a relationship with
You can create a post relationship between the proxy post type and your other CPT.

3./ Finally, I would like to be able to assign a relationship between an author and another user role (example : Artist).
Sorry, I don't quite understand. Is this a way of creating relationships between Users? Or a way of assigning multiple roles to one User? Please provide more information and I'll give you some feedback.
