    Hello,

    We are working with your API to create custom posts, and we are looking to link two custom posts together through your API.

    Is there any way to link custom posts together using you API?

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

    Best Regards!

    Hi Kiran,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    We are trying to link Post Types together through the API and not Custom Post, sorry for the misunderstanding.

    So, there is no possibility to link two Post Types together? Our project is to have two differents Post Types:

    – Service Provider
    – News

    People that are register into the post type “Service Provider” can log into a custom Symfony backend and create “News” from this backend. When the “Service Provider” create a “News”, we send it to WordPress through your API and the creation works fine. But now we are looking to link the two Post Types (Service Provider and News) together through the API.

    Is there any way to do this?

    Thanks for your support.

    Best regards!

    The Link Post type field stores the value of a linked post.
    If News is linked to service provider, then add a Link Post field to news.

    You can save the Post ID of a linked post to the Link Post field, just like any other custom field.

    Have you already set this up using the Custom Post Types addon?

    Hi Ewen,

    It looks like something from recent version affected for the linked posts API feature.

    We have fixed this issue and it will be in next release. Provide us a admin & FTP credentials to apply patch.

    Regards,
    Kiran
