    Hello

    My site allows users to create posts and personal categories from the frontend. the issue is that, when creating or editing posts, the post category section shows all of the posts when I want only the posts created by the current user

    How can I filter the post categories dropdown to show only the categories where the logged in user is the author on the frontend form?

    Thank you

    You need to use a query loop and dynamically query the posts based on the current user. We have another plugin that does this but for now it only works for Elementor.

    Thank you for the response.

    I am using the elementor plugin actually. How can I make this happen?

    This gives you extra options in the loop widgets. There is an option called “Dynamic User”, after which you can choose “Author is current user”. I am turning this plugin into a full fledge dynamic directory plugin that will give you the option to set up directory service and customize it according to your brand using Elementor. Together with Frontend Admin, you’ll be able to create a super customizable SaaS business using Elementor and hopefully also other page builders as well

    Good morning

    @shabti

    Thank you for the response. I tried doing what you described but it is not working. It looks like I cannot query the categories only posts

    I have attached a screenshot for better understanding
