How is this video have only 521 likes today, almost 3 years after released.???!!! I just found what I needed to know to link products with diferent store locations (custom post type). Thanks Paul, great content as always!!!

[@KhalidKhans55]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial, Paul! Your clear explanations and step-by-step guidance make complex concepts so accessible. I'm grateful for your dedication to helping us master JetEngine and Elementor-this video is a game changer!

[@GinaAnagnostopoulou]

It works beautifully. I created a post type Authors and related it with the standard Posts of WordPress. No extra plugin needed to show a post author and WordPress can no longer show the actual users with their URL, which is a major security risk. Thanks, Paul.

really comprehensive and rich , I really learned a lot from it . Thanks a million and many more and more

[@pezreloaded8436]

Great job showing step by step setups. Completely agree the documentation for these setups is not the best. AJ is an awesome guy, he is very helpful. This should be a go to video for this widget for sure, I know many will get much help from it.

[@WPTuts]

He certainly is and I hope this video will help people understand the complexities of Post Relations.

[@jetbob309]

Thank you Paul for your hard work in making these high quality videos!

[@ocoauction]

Mate you have no idea how much this helped. Especially the post params I just couldn’t work out. Now I can use the listing grid to showcase the products that are a child of the collection they’re in. I actually watched this a few months ago but had to watch it again because I remembered you linked the architect to the project

[@jimburns7549]

Great and useful work Paul! Five stars. Relational queries are complex. Anyone who has written SQL can attest to that. Real-world database-driven websites demand complex queries to meet site visitor expectations. The bar on the Internet is high, and this video enables Elementor users to “code” complex queries to populate templates with relational data that visitors are accustomed to seeing. A beneficial video to every Elementor user. Thank you.

[@lethabomashike]

I promise you, JETENGINE should pay you handsomely for your informative tutorials. On behalf of all your followers, I would like to thank you so much for sacrificing your time and helping this community that follows you, on how to use JET Plugins. I hope you can assist me with a problem I cannot solve using the jet-engine plugin. I want to display a listing of all my taxonomies and categories in a bulleted list that also has a post count that will serve as a sitemap for my users a directory listing website I'm working on. I would appreciate it if you can walk us through that. Another thing that I think JetEngine documentation is so poor in explaining the meta and taxonomies queries usage. I wanted to display related CPT that match up with certain taxonomies that must display. Thank you once again.

[@MuttaqiAliMuhammad]

This is actually what I've been looking for to learn. At first I was looking at Toolset loop system but it was too complicated to wrap my head around, but wow, does JetEngine catch up. Props to to you for making post relationships easier for us!

[@WPTuts]

My pleasure, great to hear it sorted things out for you. 👍

[@Elsteck]

Thank you, dear sir, for clearing this up 🙇‍♀️. I walked away from frustration on how to use JetEngine (waiting for a video like this 😉) and now maybe more struggling to choose between the ACF Pro/CPT UI route or the JetEngine one. I am beginning to see the power of the listing functionality in JetEngine, but the complexity of this plugin ... 🤯 Love the credits given to AJ Toker 😘

[@WPTuts]

My pleasure. In many use cases you can use ACF/CPTUI alongside JetEngine and take advantage of a lot of the cool functions, including the Listings widget and pull in your ACF data. It's just when you're looking at Post Relationships, you can't (as yet) use that with ACF. Hopefully they will integrate this into the plugin as ACF has a pretty extensive userbase and that would allow Zemez to tap into that.

[@Elsteck]

Thank you, Paul! That will bring me a lot further!

[@WPTuts]

@@Elsteck no worries and good luck. 😁

Great video thank you so much I am working on a business listing website now and the client needs the businesses to list their products on the business listing I think this is gonna work great now only to figure out how I am gonna make the clients post it in frontend

[@LudovicCharlier]

Nice video! Do you know if we can use JetEngine and Woocommerce to create post relation between products and postype? For example link writer to a book single product page? Thank you

[@Eckline]

Ludovic Charlier I have that same need!! Would love to find out how to do this.

[@LudovicCharlier]

@@Eckline I tested yesterday and it works also with woocommerce :)

[@WPTuts]

I was going to say that I can't see why it wouldn't as JetEngine is geared towards WooCommerce, so creating relationships should work fine. Hmmm, maybe there's a tutorial in there. 🤔

[@TheHairbowMaster]

Will you please do a video about the jetEngine data store? I am a little confused and the knowledgebase article is not super clear. I have several post types on my site and want to allow users to save any post type onto their data store page. I've already had to make a different store for each post type and I'm running in circles. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@wawawanner]

Perfect!!! It helped a lot! Thank you so much!

[@WPTuts]

My pleasure :)

[@JamesJosephFinn]

At 21:30 you enabled metabox for parent only. I'm curious if JetEngine relationships are smart / bi-directional. Meaning, for example, if you also enabled metabox also for the children, if a user entering in the data for an architect selects a "project" in the "project" metabox, and then visits that same project, he would see the architect already pre-selected in the "architect" metabox. That's a mouthful! Thanks man!

[@chris_ea]

Thanks - you made my day!

[@tootinghorns]

Great video Paul, great to see you getting into detail about an area that is so overlooked! I’ve been trying to do this with CPTUI and AFC Pro forever! Have you managed to do the same with those two? The reason I suggest this combo is because they have a big user base, and this kind of functionality is long overdue!

[@taskitvirtualsolutions]

I have the same issue, whole site is built using acf and CPT and don’t want to have to re-build but need this functionality

[@Snip3rr]

Nice tutorial. Thank you very much. I can't wrap my head around something tho... is there a way I could bring custom field data from related posts (let's say 'cpt_A') to display on another single post page ( 'cpt_B' ) ?

[@sprakful]

Hi. When to use taxonomies and when to use post relationship?

[@thebibleproof]

Had to rewatch it, but you explain it well, as always! Jet Engine is a powerful plugin, except for its poor docs.

[@WPTuts]

It's one of those things that I think you need to actually try for yourself to really get a grasp of the process. Once you do it all kinda clicks into place. 👍

[@roomishspeciallavedeboligl2880]

Hey Paul, In continuation of my comment yesterday on another video of yours, where I requested a solution on how to link two custom posttypes together. This is exactly what I want, BUT I need the process of linking to be "automated". In my case the user is able to submit the custom post type (could be 'Cook') from frontend (thanks to one of your tuts ;) ). And they are also able to submit a second custom post type (could be 'recipe'). Now I need to link these together like the architect and project in this video, but because all the content in my case (could be cooks and recipes) are submitted by the users, then I would like the linking process to be automated too. In other words I need the recipe to be linked to the cook (or "author") that submitted that actual recipe and not have to set it manually like in this video. Today I'm able to show a list of recipes on the single template for a certain cook, but Elementor forces me to set a specific author of the recipes to be shown (I use Elementor Pro btw). I want this to be dynamic, so what I need is something like setting this author to be the author of the current post. In this case the author that submitted the cook that is shown on this post. So it shows the recipes related to the author of the current post in some how. You answered in the other post, that it was possible to link two CPT's together and I see in this tut that is the case, but will it also be possible to do it automated like I describe above? :) If it could be dine with ACF alone (without the JetEngine) it would be perfect, so I can minimise the amount of plugin's needed, but if not it's also okay. Thanks for a really killer YT channel

[@moviesolero]

Hi Paul, is there a way to display listing grid with relationships in Tabs??

[@nguyenwanderoz5496]

Thank you Paul. I watched this video several times, and think of many ideas. Please help me with my case. What if there are main architect and architect assistance for a project. And in other projects, they play reversed roles. I think about this for a week, but still didn't find out how to structure.

[@abelconde95]

thank you so much!!! you help me!

[@johnboland9229]

HI Paul. Love your tutorials. Could you make a video on Options Pages with JetEngine(or really any plugin)? I'm really interested in exploring that feature and can't seem to find much information on it anywhere.

[@shawfj1]

Do you have this written down somewhere with a step by step guide for dummies?

[@web-tech-and-ai]

Great tutorial, does this work also if you want to build a real estate website?

[@WPTuts]

You could use the techniques covered for pretty much any time of site where you want to link data points. :0)

[@taskitvirtualsolutions]

Paul this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The crocoblock YT vídeo was so confusing, although I did understand it eventually, yours was much simpler. My issue though is that the site I need this functionality on I built using acf pro and CPT ui. I have courses that relate to programmes ie one programme might consist of 5 courses. Also courses that relate to other courses because of the nature of the course. Is there a way to achieve this same relationships with ACF & CPT UI as I don’t fancy having to te-build the whole site. TIA

[@marcomielenz4814]

Thanks for this vid! Is it possible to make fixed heights for the pictures in the listings? How to get the data in the listing for each listing in the same position: Headline aligned with the other headlines, subtext aligned with the other subtext, etc...

[@taskitvirtualsolutions]

If you place the picture within an inner section you can set the section height as a fixed height and picture to cover no repeat centre centre

[@michaelhofby]

Hey Paul! Thanks for the video! How do you tie in a membership function into this? So that members can for example create new property listings themselves via their membership profile, and then the JetEngine creates a new property listing and pulls that member inputted information into the new property listing, and then it is it outputted into the front-end? I am REALLY looking for an answer for this.

[@jahiddev]

Is there anyway we could use the custom fields of parent post types ?

[@benjaminvincent]

Hello Paul ! I am Benjamin from France. Another great video tutorial from you, congratulations ! May I ask the same question that you replied too (1 year ago, things may have evolved since), about how JetEngine compares with ACF Pro, particularly the "Relationship" feature. Are they equivalent ? What would be the benefit of adding JetEngine if I already have ACF Pro today ? Thank you a lot and keep up the great work !

[@adambermingham7661]

Hi Paul, another great video. I'm doing a bit of a redesign of my own site and this seems a perfect fit. I provide multiple types of service, I have a page for each, and I write a post/page for each project/client I complete. I would swap Architect for Service. Or would you say there is an easier way? Does this work with ACF and CPT UI? I'm becoming addicted to your channel . Always so interesting.

[@KimMcKee]

Thank YOU!

[@Eckline]

Thanks! Is there a way to skip the process of manually having to link the items. Ideally I'd like it to display related listings that the user posted. For example, user A creates a Job listing. That listing automatically gets added to the Users profile.

[@wendan20]

Hi, thanks for this great video. I think Jetengine is what I am looking for for a long time. I want to expand a social community platform and design with Elementor. I see a lot of functionalities that I need! The one thing that is not clear to me if it is possible to relate custom posts to users? When expanding the site there is also a user database with the members from the community. They are stored in the WP users. I need to realte custom post types to those users so I can dynamicly query only the post types for the logged in user. Do you know if this is possible? Thanks!

[@brokeartisan]

Great video

[@ocbroadband]

Paul, one of the struggles I'm having is to be able to have a listing for let's say your example, architects, and have the related CPT fields, also be able to be shown in that same listing. This possible as I can't seem to find how to do it. In your example, you have 2 different listings, but I want to call the fields from both CPT's into a single listing.

[@IvanKonanov]

Thanks for the informative lesson! After viewing in the head logical questions were born: 1. Is it possible to use and how, in the format of woocommerce? 2. How can I display different custom post types in one blog(arhive)? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for clearing this up - had a crack at it a few weeks ago - but without success. Your videos are actually making me a bit lazy - when I couldn't get my head around this, I actually thought »I'll just wait until Poul puts out a video about this« ;) Zemez or Crocoblock could work a little bit on their UI to make things simpler. But then again - perhaps I'm just getting to lazy. :)

[@WPTuts]

You're not alone in finding the whole process super frustrating! I just started work on a project that required several post relationships, so I thought JetEngine can do that.. Hopped over to the KZbin channel, took a look at their tutorial and tried it out and found nothing was the same, the process didn't work and so it was time to turn to the Facebook group. Thankfully, AJ Toker had put a short video helping someone out on how to use the Post Relations and that cleared everything up for me. Hence making this video, as I'm sure I'm not alone in getting super frustrated trying to get it all working. P.S. Sorry for making you feel lazy.. lol

[@grandpersia7265]

Hey Paul, thanks again for your jetengine tutorials. I love jetengine but do you have any idea about acf relationship field? Is there any way to show post relationship that created with acf?

[@EdmontonRealEstate01]

Hello Paul, I am currently working on a page on my site which shows events in my city and I have gone through the documentation to find out a way to display the events into Today's events and this month's events and have not been able to pull it off. As you had mentioned, Zemez's documentation is limited and it is hard to find much of what you need which eats up ton's of time for something that is hit or miss. Is there a possibility for you to create a video showing all of the post query types and the accompanying values that come with it or the ones most commonly used? If that is or is not possible, maybe putting something on your website might be of help. I know many of the people new to Wordpress and Elementor (Pro) who are using JetEngine, would appreciate it.

[@iqbalmauludy]

Thank you! This really helpful. I know for what relationship now hahaha.

[@Joe-fn9mi]

Thanks! Out of interest how would you show "Other Projects by this architect" inside the SINGLE PROJECT PAGE? You wouldn't be able to use %related_parents or %related_children in that scenario so what would you recommend doing? It's as if I want a parameter like - %related_siblings

[@yoSn4p]

Hi dude. What about conditional custom post types and JetEngine?

[@sprakful]

can you share a backup file of this so we can work on while seeing this ?

[@EdmontonRealEstate01]

Hello Paul, is there a way to set this up so any future posts someone puts up (in this case any of the architects) will automatically populate instead of someone doing it manually either through a form (gravity forms or something like WPUF) or by some other means? So far this is the closest I've seen for what I'm looking for, but it would be nice if it were all automated.
