FacetWP – User Post Type

FacetWP User Post Type is an add-on that makes WordPress users filterable with FacetWP. It creates a hidden upt_user custom post type and syncs each WP user to a post, so users can be filtered with facets like any other post type. Default and custom user fields are synced and can be used in listings and as facet data sources.

Key Features

• Filterable user listings – You can build user listings and narrow them down with facets the same way you would filter posts.
• Hidden upt_user post type – The add-on makes users filterable by creating a hidden custom post type and a post for each user.
• Syncs user fields – Default and custom user field data is synced onto the generated posts.
• Custom field support – Custom user fields created with WP hooks, Advanced Custom Fields or BuddyPress are supported.
• Facet data source – A synced user field can serve as the data source for a facet.
• Display user data – Synced user field values can be shown inside a user listing.
• Meta query use – Synced user fields can be referenced in a meta_query within a user listing query.
• Inspect synced users – The upt_user post type is hidden from the admin menu, but you can open its menu item directly to review synced users and their custom fields.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for WordPress site owners and developers who run member directories or similar user-based listings and want to filter those users with the FacetWP interface. It suits sites where users are stored as WP users rather than posts, including setups that use custom user fields.
