Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to create a Contractors/Trades Directory - where the user can select the Town they live, and filter the Type of Trade worker they want in order to filter the Business’s that will travel to that Area, and can do that Trade.
So that’s 3 components: Towns, Trade Types & Business’s
I’m trying to understand the optimal way to organize my Post Types, my Taxonomy and the Relationships.
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hello,
Here are my opinions:
1) Setup one post types "Business"
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-post-type/
2) Setup two taxonomies
- Towns
- Trade Types
register them to post type "Business"

3) Create a page, display a post view:
- Query "Contractors" posts
- Setup the custom search form:
Filter by taxonomies "Towns" and "Trade Types"
- In view's loop display the "Business" post information

For your reference.
Thanks for your reply! In fact what you are suggesting is exactly what I have setup already 🙂
I was hung up on if I needed to create any type of post relationships, and I couldn't figure out why I would need to. I see you haven't suggested it as necessary, so I do appreciate your input.
Thanks, =Z
Yes, I agree with you, it does not other post types and post type relationship for now.
And it is possible and easy to add more post types and post type relationships in the future.
