 * Hi all !
 * I need to create a User based Custom Post, Custom Taxonomy creation.
 * So in Admin and Frontend i can related the Creation/Update & Delete to the current
   logged in user.
 * Is there a relationShip table to do this ? , or have i to create one myself (
   meta) ? Maybe already implemented in WP (If Yes, How can i create/get/update/
   delete datas for this ?).
 * thanks a lot 🙂

 * Re,
 * I think i figure out this topic.
 * To create a user based Term in Custom Taxonomy, i’ve created a meta attached 
   to the term (new WP 4.4 feature) ‘author’ which contains the logged in user ID:
 * `add_term_meta($term_id,'author',get_current_user_id());`
 * and then to retrieve the user who has created the term :
 * `$author = get_the_author_meta( 'user_nicename', intval(get_term_meta($term_id,'
   author')) );`
 * I think it’s the best way to do it.
 * cheers !
