Hi,

Following on from this support ticket:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-brother-posts-not-working-for-me/

I had the issue solved by using this shortcode, in the layout of the chapters CPT:

[wpv-view name="chapters-sibling-posts" wpvprchildof="[wpv-post-id id='$book']"]

However, this suddenly stopped and is not giving "no posts found".

Also, I used this shortcode to show a link back to the parent book post. however, now it is linking to the chapter post itself:

[wpv-post-link id='$book']

here is the parent book post:
hidden link

here is a chapter of the book, as a chapter CPT:
hidden link

the 2 links in blue, at the top of the chapter have this code:

[wpv-post-link id='$book']

but they are now referring to the same chapter itself, not the parent book.

also, if you scrolled down, instead of seeing the chapters, you get "no posts found".

I haven't changed anything since last update.

can you please help

thanks in advance.

Hello,

In the new post type relationship of Types plugin 3.0+, you can get the parent book post ID with:
[wpv-post-id item="@book-chapter-one-to-many.parent"]

And I have done below modification in your website:
Edit the layout "Chapters Layout", replace the codes in you mentioned above from:

[wpv-view name="chapters-sibling-posts" wpvprchildof="[wpv-post-id id='$book']"]

To:

[wpv-view name="chapters-sibling-posts" wpvprchildof="[wpv-post-id item="@book-chapter-one-to-many.parent"]"]

Please test again, check if it is fixed or not.
