Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a front end form where a user can submit their info, once submitted this then goes to pending and needs to be approved by admin, it goes to a Toolset Post type Page. The problem is the page that it creates is always showing the author as admin, so I cant create my account page listing the author's listings.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/allow-users-to-manage-their-items/

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jul,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This occurs because you as the admin is publishing the post. How wordpress works is that it will assign whoever publishes the post as the Author even if said post was created by a different user.

The only way to work around this is after you publish the post is to set the original use who created the post as the author.

Thanks,
Shane
