Hello,

I did a migration from Drupal to WordPress and used Toolset to create relationships between "Staff" post types and "Article" post types.

Now I'm trying to pull schema for "author" and it only shows "admin" (that's who I'm logged in as) for every article.

I understand that this setup is not the typical WP way of handling author/post relationships.

My question: Is there any way to connect the staff custom post type to their user ID in the WP user database and have that info passed to the schema plugin (using WPSSO right now)

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset do not have such a feature. Generally, if you want to change the post author programetically you should check the following links:

I'm not sure where to begin with this as I thought it would be handled with Toolset from the beginning.
It's unfortunate that the migration is now over and I can't go back and start this over with new knowledge.
