Filter posts by user profile

I have an idea for personalization, and wonder if it is possible.

I would like to give logged-in users a place where they can choose tags they are interested in (some sort of profile page, which I suppose I can figure out).

Then, I would like to present them a page where only posts with those tags are displayed.

Obviously, I could build a separate page for each member, but that is a maintenance nightmare.

So, I want a TD Composer page where I can add blocks with filtering based on the the user that is viewing the page. One page, that responds to the currently-logged-in user’s preferences. (Persons who are not logged in would not be able to see the page, I think.)

Is it possible to have blocks on a page be set to do this type of dynamic filtering? Or, is it possible to have even a standard blog page do dynamic filtering like this?

Thanks for any help you can give, or any pointers to plugins or ways of doing this.

Hi,

There are filters available in blocks for users to sort the content (like the ajax filter), but these filters don’t take into account or track which user does it and display personalized content based on the user actions.

The theme or the composer elements don’t have such a capability unfortunately. Plugins that may be able to do this may not work with the composer blocks, if there are such plugins.

Thanks
