    Once Linked fields are added, looking under the Tabs section, there are a couple different fields that show up:

    e.g. Related Event (under standard fields)
    Linked from: gd_event (under custom fields)
    Linked to: gd_event (under custom fields)

    The custom fields ones are shortcodes that allow configurations, whereas the Related Event under standard fields doesn’t seem to have any settings.

    I’m trying to understand the distinction between these… does Related Event show any relationship between two listings (to or from), and the custom fields ones allow specificity broken out a “to” and “from?”

    If that is correct, are there any other distinctions between them?

    Cheers

    The “Link Post: Places” field is the one that comes with GeoDirectory Custom Post Types Addon, created automatically when the addon is installed, and easily added to a CPT as a predefined custom field.

    Usage is covered here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/addons/custom-post-types/

    Once added, yes, a shortcode Link Posts will appear in the tabs.

    I am not familiar with the Related Event field, that is probably your own custom field.

    OK.

    Tangent question…is there anyway to tie linked appearance to listing package?

    I know that the ability for an owner to make the actual linked connection within the listing form can be tied to a package level, but what about controlling the appearance?

    E.g.,
    Let’s say that an Event owner can link to Places listing for free.

    Can the appearance of that connection be tied to a paid listing package, either 1) the event shows up on the Places listing as a linked listing, or 2) the Places listing shows up as a linked listing on the Event page.

    So the event owner can link to listings regardless of package, but that linkage only shows up in either/both cases above if the Places owner has paid for a certain level listing?

    Clear as mud?

    Thanks
