[Resolved] Assigning post to parent with PHP

[Author]

I am trying to: use PHP to assign a child to a parent using:

add_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_' . $listingtype . '_id', $parent_post);

I expected to see: The child Post Relationship show the parent post and; the parent Post Relationship show the child post.

Instead, I got: Only the child post is showing the relationship with the parent. The parent doesn't show the child post in the Post Relationship.

Is there something else that I need to do?

Thanks Chris

just a little further info from me on this one.

If I run a var_dump on the types_child_posts it seems that the parent post has the posts added:

$child_listings = get_post_meta($this_post, 'types_child_posts');
var_dump ($child_listings);

First screenshot shows the dump ( note there are multiple arrays created from having run this a number of times whilst testing ).

Second screenshot shows the Post Relations section of the parent post in the WP backend. Note that the child posts are not showing here.
