Hey,
Is it possible to choose the author of a cp when creating it on the front end?
I need the admin, when creating a new post, to be able to select its author from the user list.
Thx!
Hey again,
Sorry for disconnecting..
I see your point. You said that if I update each user that registers manually somewhere, I can achieve that.
What would be the workflow, then?
Thx!

How about to create a cpt of authors, and, once a user registers, insert a hidden "create new author" cred form which populate itself with the username of the author and connect it in relationship to the registered user?
and then, when a new order is created, have it tied in relationship to the author which has the same slug as the current user?
"cred form which populate itself with the username of the author and connect it in relationship to the registered user?
and then, when a new order is created, have it tied in relationship to the author which has the same slug as the current user?"
This can work but it will involve the use of custom coding to achieve.
I think it will be much easier to allow the user to create their use account with basic fields. Then after they have created their account, they can log in and then create an author profile in the CPT.
Then this Profile will be connected to the Posts through a post relationship. So whenever the Admin is creating a new post, they can select the author through a relationship field.
Thanks, Shane!
Users are dentists, so, with no offence, are not expected to be form-friendly 🙂 So I need this automated.
But I'll try to figure it out.
Cheers
