Let’s find out how to assign Custom Content Type posts to users in a few steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the first part of the final result we get at the end of this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"final\n\n\n\n

The second part is presented below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"final\n\n\n\n

Create a Relation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Firstly, we need to create a Relation <\/strong>between our Custom Content Type and users. For this, navigate to the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Relations<\/em><\/strong>. Press the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button to create a new relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"create\n\n\n\n

Set a Name<\/strong>, and <\/strong>choose the Parent object <\/strong>and Child object<\/strong>. In our case, \u201cUsers\u201d will be a Parent object,<\/strong> and CCT \u201cJobs Resume\u201d – a Child object<\/strong>. Pick the \u201cOne to Many\u201d Relation Type<\/strong>. After that, don\u2019t forget to click the \u201cAdd Relation<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\"\n\n\n\n

You can enable other options in the General Settings <\/strong>section if needed. In our case, we leave Register controls for parent object<\/strong> and Register controls for child object<\/strong> toggles active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\n\n\n\n

In the Content Type Related Settings <\/strong>tab, we also need to select the Title field <\/strong>that will be used as a title of related items for the current CCT item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\n\n\n\n

In the Meta Fields<\/strong> section, add a meta field<\/a> to the relation by pressing the \u201cNew Field<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s create a \u201cCheckbox\u201d Field type<\/strong> meta field. The source will be chosen as Glossary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\n\n\n\n

To set the glossary, activate the Get options from the glossary <\/strong>toggle and select the Glossary <\/strong>you added earlier. For instance, ours is \u201cResume Categories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"glossary\"\n\n\n\n

Once the adjustments are made, press the \u201cAdd Relation<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"relation\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build Query with Query Builder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

To show only related items in our listings. To build a new query, open the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Query Builder <\/em><\/strong>directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"query\n\n\n\n

Here, we need to create a CCT Query Type<\/a>. Enter the new name, set \u201cCustom Content Type Query\u201d as Query Type<\/strong>, and don\u2019t forget to specify the CCT we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"add\n\n\n\n

In the Query <\/strong>section, click \u201cAdd new<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"query\n\n\n\n

Here, we need to specify the Field<\/strong>, Compare <\/strong>operator, Value, <\/strong>and Type<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Field, <\/strong>select \u201cItem ID\u201d and set Compare <\/strong>operator as \u201cEqual (=).\u201d In the Value, <\/strong>press the Dynamic Tags <\/strong>button and find the \u201cRelated Items\u201d macro. Then adjust the proceeding info, select the needed item as From Relation <\/strong>option, \u201cChild Object\u201d as From Object,<\/strong> and \u201cCurrent Object ID\u201d as Initial Object ID From<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to press the \u201cApply<\/strong>\u201d button and pick Type <\/strong>as \u201cChar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"related\n\n\n\n

Push the \u201cAdd Query<\/strong>\u201d button after implementing the changes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Connect User with CCT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Navigate to WordPress Dashboard > Users<\/strong><\/em> to connect already created CCT items and click on the \u201cConnect Jobs Resume<\/strong>\u201d button (the name can differ depending on the child object name and relation labels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"connect\n\n\n\n

In the dropdown list, pick the needed option and click the \u201cConnect Jobs Resume<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"select\n\n\n\n

In the next-appeared window, select the meta field you want to attach to this relation. Don\u2019t forget to press the \u201cSave Meta Data<\/strong>\u201d button after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"add\n\n\n\n

Work on other fields if needed and click the \u201cUpdate User<\/strong>\u201d button at the end of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add metadata to all needed users by following the steps described above.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Display Data in the Listing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Now, we need to create a listing for our Custom Content Type. Let\u2019s move to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings <\/em><\/strong>and click on the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"create\n\n\n\n

In the appeared pop-up, select the \u201cCustom Content Type\u201d Source<\/strong>, fill in the Listing item name<\/strong>, and pick the needed Listing view<\/strong>. In this tutorial, we will check how to create a listing both in Elementor and Gutenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press the \u201cCreate Listing Item<\/strong>\u201d button to open the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create listing in Elementor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the help of the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget, let\u2019s display all the needed information we have in our CCT. \u0421hoose the \u201cPost\/Term\/User\/Object Data\u201d Source <\/strong>and Object Field <\/strong>to display meta fields added to our CCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s display the meta field we created with our Relation. For this, add a new Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget, pick the \u201cRelation Meta Data\u201d Source <\/strong>and find the \u201cResume Categories\u201d option, the name of the relation Meta Field<\/strong>. Select the option with a child object,<\/strong> as our CCT is a child in our Relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n\n\n\n

Once you finish, press the \u201cPublish\/Update<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add listing to Single User Page<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, we\u2019ve already created the listing template in Elementor. Now let\u2019s add it to the Single User page<\/a> created with the Profile Builder<\/strong> module. Navigate to the template assigned here in WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Profile Builder > User Page<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"single\n\n\n\n

In the template, place a Listing Grid<\/strong> widget on the page. Select the newly built Listing<\/strong>. In the Custom Query<\/strong> tab, select the already created query built with Query Builder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"single\n\n\n\n

Create Listing in Gutenberg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can also create a nested Listing<\/strong>. For this, we need to create a new Listing template with source Users, where we\u2019ll have user info displayed with Dynamic widgets and a Listing Grid<\/strong> widget with the listing for our CCT, which we created above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get back to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings <\/em><\/strong>and click the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n\n\n\n

Select \u201cUsers\u201d as a Source<\/strong>, set the needed name of the listing template and choose \u201cBlocks (Gutenberg)\u201d in the Listing view<\/strong> and click on the \u201cCreate Listing<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"listing\n\n\n\n

We will add a Dynamic Field<\/strong> block to display the user\u2019s name as well as the Listing Grid <\/strong>block. In the Listing<\/strong> field, select the listing we built earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"nested\n\n\n\n

Head to the Custom Query <\/strong>section. Here, enable the Use Custom Query <\/strong>toggle and choose the just created Custom Query <\/strong>item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"custom\n\n\n\n

Press the \u201cPublish\/Update<\/strong>\u201d button to save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly created listing will be displayed on the Public User Page built with the help of Profile Builder. Find the page you\u2019ve added in WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Profile Builder > Pages > Users Page<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"public\n\n\n\n

In Blocks Editor, add the Listing Grid block and select the nested listing we created just now. After all the changes, click the \u201cPublish\/Update<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"gutenberg\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Final Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

And here are our results on the front end on the Single User Page<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"final\n\n\n\n

And this is how our Listing created in Gutenberg looks like on Public Users Page<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"final\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
