I am trying to: Display a list of articles (child) in the region's (grandparent) page

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
view name : "Articles - Same Region 3 columns - 03"

I expected to see:
List of articles with featured image, city and inspiration informations:

---
Featured Image
city(ies)
ARTICLES
inspiration(s)
---

Instead, I got: No items found

Thank you in advance.

Dear _abe,

I have tried the credentials you provided, but get this error:
Error 1020 Ray ID: 4e30e51d8a6f53d6 • 2019-06-07 07:25:56 UTC
Access denied

Please check it.

I assume we are talking about this case:
There are three custom post types:
- region
- city
- article
Two post type relationships:
- one-to-many relationship between "region" and "city"
- one-to-many relationship between "city" and "article"

In a single "region" post, you are going to display related "city" and "article" posts information.

If it is, it is possible within a nested view, for example, you can try these:
1) Parent post view: related-city-list
- query city posts
- filter by post type relationship between "region" and "city"
- in view's loop, display city post information + below child post view "related-article-list"

2) Child post view,: related-article-list
- query article posts
- filter by post type relationship between "city" and "article"
- in view's loop, display article post information

3) in the content of single "region" post, display the parent post view shortcode, like this:
[wpv-view name="related-city-list"]

Hi Luo,

Thank you for fast reply.
I tried your suggestion, unfortunately it didn’t work as I expected it to.

It shows cities as a parent, and lists articles under each city.

What I need is to show Articles as main + city + inspiration.

Btw, I fixed the URL login issue.

I’m using Oxygen Builder. To access the “region” single page:
Oxygen >> Template >> Region - single page

Note: “City” and “Article” relationship is many to many relationship.

Thank you.

Just to clarify, that section should be something like this.

Thank you.

Thanks for the details, in your case, since there isn't direct relationship between post types "region" and "article", so for the nested views I mentioned above, it is expected result:

It shows cities as a parent, and lists articles under each city.

In you case, you might consider this:
1) setup many-to-many relationship between post types "region" and "article",
2) edit each "article" post, connect it with other "region" posts
3) then in a single "region" post, you will be able to setup a post view:
- query "article" posts
- filter by relationship of post types "region" and "article"
And display "article" posts information.

Hi Luo,

If I set up "region" and "article" with many to many relationships, do I need to enter it the region connection individually, or it can be automated. So if I select the city, it will automatically enter/set the "region"?

[Luo Yang]

Yes, you need to enter it the region connection individually and manually, if you select the city, it will not automatically enter/set the "region".

Unfortunately, that solution doesn't work for me.
I'm still doesn't understand why this can't work, seems like a common query to me. Anyway, thanks for trying.
