Creating a Custom Post Type from a User sign up?

[ad_1]

I’m developing a site for a company that will be allowing people to sign up and have a profile page.

Elsewhere on the site they have blog posts and therefore the authors have a profile page as usual.

This is where the difficulty lies. The users who sign up for a membership will need their own profile page that is different to the regular author.php.

So I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. I can’t see a way to have a separate profile page that dynamically populates and users can visit on the front end without using the author.php template file.

So I was thinking maybe I can use custom post types to handle this. But then the user still needs to be able to login and edit those details so I’m not sure how that could work together.

Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.
