Problem with relationship association

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a post relationship configured to allow 12 related child posts. I have added 11 related child posts, but now I cannot add the 12th related post.

Solution: Check the trash for previously related child posts. Restore the post temporarily and disconnect it from the parent post, or permanently delete the child post. Then you can add a 12th related post.

Hi,
I use a relationship one to many (with limit at 12).
I have made an error and associate a wrong type, i deleted assiciation but after that i could not add 12 types but just 11.

Do you know what i could do to fix this problem ?

Thanks a lot

Hello, is it possible the related post is still in the Trash and not permanently deleted? If you associate a post using post relationships, then send that post to the trash, you must permanently delete that post (empty the trash) to completely disconnect the old relationship. Please let me know if this does not solve the problem and I can take a closer look.

If the 12th related post is currently in the Trash, you must first restore the 12th related post by removing it from the Trash. Then you can use the Post Relationship editor to disconnect the 12th related post and choose another post as the 12th related post. Maybe I am misunderstanding the problem? If you would prefer, I can log in to wp-admin and take a closer look.

Please let me know which posts you are trying to connect in a post relationship, and I will give you more feedback.
