Allow user to create only one post in a custom post type

Yes it’s possible. When a new post has been made, update the user meta with the post count. Then you need to use the `wpuf_can_post` filter and check if the users post count == 1, if it’s true, return “no” from that filter and the user will not be able to submit more posts.

update the user meta with the post count

You mean that I have to create a specific meta for users which will handle this value ?

Yeah, a user meta, e.g: `company_post_count`, which will count the number of posts the user created. So now you can track which users have how many post and limit them.

Nice one 🙂 ! I’ll try and let you know if I need more help 🙂 !

Thanks Tareq !

Then you need to use the wpuf_can_post filter and check if the users post count == 1, if it’s true, return “no” from that filter and the user will not be able to submit more posts.

I don’t see how to deal with that :s…

Also, I have other custom post types in my website. So I want user to only post 1 company. Then, if he has posted 1 company, he is allowed to post other custom post type (like news, jobs, projects, …). If he hasn’t post 1 company, he is not allowed to post other custom post type.

So how can I restrict the acces to a page (which contain a post form) to only the users that have posted 1 company ?

Thanks

You need to add filter like this:
[php]
function wpufe_restrict_post( $permission, $form_id, $form_settings ) {
if ( ‘company’ == $form_settings[‘post_type’] ) {
$post_count = get_user_meta( get_current_user_id(), ‘company_post_count’, true );

if ( $post_count == ‘1’ ) {
return ‘no’;
}
}

return $permission;
}

add_filter( ‘wpuf_can_post’, ‘wpufe_restrict_post’, 10, 3 );
[/php]

But I suppose you need to change a bit of code `/class/frontend-form-post.php`. Currently the version you are using provides only one parameter to that filter. Changing the line 33 to this will allow you to access the form settings like the code above.
[php]$user_can_post = apply_filters( ‘wpuf_can_post’, ‘yes’, $id, $form_settings );[/php]

Thanks !

Could you please add this (modification on line 33) in the nextupdate ?

$user_can_post = apply_filters( 'wpuf_can_post', 'yes', $id, $form_settings );

was this line updated in an update?
