    I would like to limit the number of custom posts that a user can post and view on the dashboard. I am using User Posts Limit plugin and it is working fine.

    If I create the custom posts using MB front end so dashboard is automatic, will the limits set by User Posts Limit still apply?

    I am assuing and hoping yes but wanted to confirm.

    Hello,

    Meta Box does not support limiting users from creating posts. You can try to use the if statement to check if the user has a post or a number of posts and then output the frontend submission form or not. Please refer to this topic https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/139818/check-if-current-user-has-post-in-post-type-and-is-author-role

    Thanks for he link.
    How do we control whether the form will render or not through code? could you please provide a snippet?

    Hello,

    In the page template, you can use the code in the topic above to check the number of posts belonging to a user then output the frontend form shortcode. For example:

    if( check_the_number_of_posts_here ) {
echo do_shortcode( '[mb_frontend_form id="field-group-id" post_fields="title,content"]' );
}

    If you are not able to complete the task, please contact us here https://metabox.io/contact/

    For limiting a user to only create X amount of posts, we are using the mbfs_dashboard_add_new_button filter like so:

    add_filter( 'mbfs_dashboard_add_new_button', 'limit_num_of_workplaces', 20, 2 );
function limit_num_of_workplaces( $add_new_button, $atts ) {
	if( $atts['post_type'] == 'workplace' && current_user_can('some_user_role') ){
		//how many workplaces does this user have? (we are limiting to 3)
		if (count_user_posts( get_current_user_id(), $atts['post_type'], false ) > 2 ){
			$add_new_button = ''; //no soup for you!
		}
		return $add_new_button;
	}
}
