    Hi,

    Am I on the right track linking a custom post type of Company to a custom post type of Service? Trying to get my head round how to connect services offered by a listing to their company. Or am I totally on the wrong track?

    Hello!

    The most common ‘link’ is with the Events plugin. A “venue” is added, and then events are linked to the venue. Each event is unique in itself.

    If the Services you will be describing are the same, but then offered by various listings, then maybe a custom field would serve the need: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#custom

    For example, I could make a directory of car washes in Los Angeles, and each one offers different services: “Exterior Wash”, “Wheel and Rim Service”, and then “Interior Cleaning”. In that case I would make a custom field in GD > Place Settings , perhaps a multiple select field, with each of those services as an option.

    Thank you very much Alex.

    That makes total sense.

    Finding my way around things now (slowly but surely).
