Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

What you need to do is to add a post relationship filter to your view. See Screenshot.

Please let me know if you're able to see this option.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane,

Thanks for your answer.

I did found that option, but is asks for: Select which ancestors should be part of this filter

I don't have any ancestors, how do i get that? I have a one-to-many relationship. What are ancestors? Could not find any info on it.

thx!

Hello,

In you case you would not need to worry about an Ancestor since you are not using a Many to Many relationship.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane,

Sorry but your answers didn't help me much. What i see, even in an not many-to-many case you need to choose an ancestor otherwise post relationship parametric search does not work. Maybe i am wrong but in mine case that was mine solution. And in the real estate website that is also the case.
thx
