Hi there,

you'll need to add some code to automatically delete the child posts when you delete a parent.

Please see this recommended solution (you'll need to adjust the slugs for your post types and relationship): hidden link

Thx for you message. I have used your code, but it's not cancelling the child! I have noticed that it's there and that relationship is disabled!

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Hello,
i have discover that when i delete the post A, in my case "Intervento", other relationship with it will get broken.

Let me explain better A is in relationship with B, C, D... now the function you give me work like a charm... post B will be deleted great.
But post C, that was in relationship with A, now can't anymore be related to A.

See my picture.

Hello,
let me explain better: i have my post A (parent) that is in relation with B (child). A is also in relation with other post C,D,E.

When i delete the post A, also post B will be deleted and that sounds great. Now i have problem with the post C,D,E that were related to A that was canceled. I can't assign anymore to any post A.

In my specific case i have post A (job), post B (work) and for example post C (worker). When i delete the "job", my "worker" relationship with "job" will be delete. Now if i want assign the "worker" to another "job" i can't anymore!

The problem you mentioned above is abnormal, after delete post A (job), all relationships related with post A should be deleted, you should be able to setup post C (worker) with other job posts without any problem.

Please check these:
1) Make sure you are using the latest version of Toolset plugins, you can download them here:

2) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to WordPress default theme 2021, deactivate all custom PHP/JS code snippets, and test again

3) Also check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:

Hello,
i have tried to cancel the post A from backend and the problem will not occur.

Could be something because from frontend is not trashed but deleted directly, and i backend i have to trash first and then empty the trash?

[Luo Yang]

No, I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh WP installation, after delete the parent post with shortcode:
[cred-delete-post action='delete' onsuccess='self']Delete[/cred-delete-post]

Edit the child post again, I can connect it with other parent posts without any problem

So there should be other problem in your website, please try as I mentioned above, upgrading plugins and check the compatibility issue in your website:
