Hi there team!

Is it possible to relate two or more posts of the same type between them?
Kind of "Related posts" to one post. I don't want to achieve that using the taxonomies, I want to specify the posts in the backend like we do when are two different types of posts.

I have seen that forum topic > https://toolset.com/forums/topic/can-a-user-select-other-posts-within-the-same-type-eg-related-posts/

And that one too > https://toolset.com/forums/topic/let-user-select-which-cpts-to-view-on-page/

Where you specify that is not possible with toolset, but both of them are old (2016) and I was wondering if it's possible to do it right now.

To be honest, I don't understand how can apply the "parent" and "child" solution for my special case. I just want to do it like we do in WooCommerce for example (related products).

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Unfortunately no this is not possible to achieve with our plugins. The only way I can think of relating products together is by using taxonomies, so that you can use similar taxonomies to group your products.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok I will suggest my client to display the products in the same taxonomy ordering the related products randomly. Thank you!
