    Hi,
    I’m using UsersWP and advanced search is there a way to search for all listings posted by an author? My site will show properties from several different estate agents and it would be a really nice feature to be able to search for “all properties by X” where X is a user name / author name.

    You could make a different CPT for brokers and link listings to it.

    UsersWP doesn’t have a search yet, but it is on the roadmap. For future UsersWP questions please post to https://userswp.io/support/ – you can use the same account to login there.

    Hi Alex
    I think your suggestion re brokers will work for me. I’m a bit confused about setting up the relationship. I have “service providers” (brokers) and properties. Once a broker has registered on the system they will create a business listing as a broker. Then they will add one or more properties. I would like another user to be able to list all properties added by the broker. I assume this is done by viewing the broker’s business entry and then there’ll be a link from that to all their posts?

    Also if a user finds a property via a different search, then to be able to link back to the broker’s business entry from there.

    What link fields do I need to add to service providers and properties to make this work?
