Author isn't Linked

See all the users and only one listing referenced. Yet, there’s multiple listings.

Thanks Alex for looking into this,

Are you saying that this is supposed to work this way in that they are adding a listing and registering simultaneously but they are not the author of the listing? If so then I probably won’t be using that feature. I thought it would be cool for people to register and create a listing all at once on the same form but I didn’t I think it would be a situation where the offer was linked.

I understand that it worked for you where the listing was created but for some reason his listing disappeared. I know the listing was there because I saw it on the front end. When he suddenly couldn’t find it I look to see if it was in the trash and it wasn’t even in the trash. I deleted a listing from the front end to see if it would go in the trash to make sure that at least works and it did go in the trash. So he’s listening essentially vanished.

If I pursue this particular site I will probably just go ahead and make it so users register separately like they’ve always done. I was just leaving this here for you guys to test for now.

Ah, that makes sense accept for entering the email address and name during the process and not being clear on the front end that the listing will need to be claimed later. I was excited about this because I thought it was going to save the user from having to register separately first.

It would be cool if when “Allow not logged in users to post from the frontend” is ticked they could create a password also and listing at the same time and they are the author of that listing. And then because they’re already signed in if they go to add another listing those fields were gone.

I didn’t have claim listing plugin installed so I guess “Allow not logged in users to post from the frontend” wouldn’t have worked without it.

Cool, thanks Stiofan, I’ll try it again after the update then.
