Topic Tag: Post-relationship

Problem: I would like to create a post relationship using some criteria other than post_title, since my post titles may change later.

Solution: In wp-admin, post titles are shown for linked posts. In the database, posts are linked using post IDs. Future modifications to linked post titles will not affect the post relationship Future modification to post IDs may affect post relationships, but this type of change usually only happens during site migrations.

Problem:
Users that have no rights to create Post Type A can still do so when connecting a Post Type A to a Post Type B

Solution:
Update to types 3.1

Problem:
Client has designed a custom archive, but when visiting it on the front-end the design is unchanged from the standard theme archive design.

Solution:
The Jupiter theme uses a bespoke system for outputting the archive, and it is not possible for Toolset to modify it.

You would need to create a child theme and make an archive.php file which uses the WordPress standard for outputting the archive.

Problem:
How to access the parent ID from child post

Solution:
to access the parent ID when you have created post type relationship with Types plugin version 3.x.x - you can use the following shortcode:

[wpv-post-id item="@relationship-slug.parent"]

Where:
- Replace relationship-slug with your original post type relationship slug.

Problem: I have two post types in a parent / child post relationship. I would like to relate a parent post to another parent post, but I am unable to use post relationships or post reference fields in the same post type. How can I link these parent posts?

Solution: The simplest way is to create a custom taxonomy, and apply the same taxonomy terms to related parent posts.

Problem: I would like to use the new post relationships API to get results sorted by post date, but it doesn't appear to be working.

Solution: The new toolset_get_related_posts API doesn't currently support "date" as an option for ordering. Instead, the toolset_relationships parameters can be added to a standard WP_Query as described in the link below.
