HI There,

I have a very technical issue. Would the following be possible, if not what would a workaround be?

I have created a custom field group on users to add extra fields to the user post type. Now I need to create a set of six fields that need to be relational to the "user" field ie past employment records. I don't see options in the "relationship" field to link something as a relational post to "users".

Hi Andre,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

The post relationships can't be extended to "Users" because technically the users are not a post type.

A simpler and the natural way to achieve this would be to create a new custom post type for storing past employment records and then link individual record to a user, through the Post - Author relationship.

This way whenever you'd like to show employment records for an individual user, you can call them by showing all the records, where post author is that user.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions around this.

regards,
Waqar
