I know this question has been asked a few times but no of the answers work.

I have a News channel with a Users field type as one of the layout fields.

I want to find all news entries related to user id X but the entries returned are wrong.

{# Get current member e.g URL /members/1/ #}
{% set currentMember = craft.users.id(craft.request.segment(2)).first() %}

{# Get current members news entries #}
{% set currentMemberNews = craft.entries.section("news").relatedTo(currentMember) %}

currentMemberNews contains all news. I just want the currentMember news.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

  • {{ currentMember.email }} prints what you expect it to?

  • There are 7 news entries in the system with only 2 news entries tagged to the current member. I get all 7 news entries.

Have you tried this:

{% set currentMemberNews = craft.entries.section('news').relatedTo({
    targetElement: currentMember,
    field: 'yourFieldHandle',
}) %}

To specifically define the correct field and the fact that the member is on the target side of this relation?

  • yourFieldhandle - do you mean the Users field handle in my News Channel ?

  • You define the field in which the relationship was initialized. In this case, the User field in your news channel. The big question, however ... does it work?

  • Okay, I've tried the above and I still get my 7 entries. :(

The problem seemed to be caused by a bad relation. Removing the relation and re-creating the relationship between the User and entries fixed the issue. Dunno what caused it but it was very strange.
