Include a connected CPT post to regular post loop

  • Hello, I’m quite a newby on WP and Posts2Posts plugin. I’ve checked in previous forum posts but I can’t find what I need (but – if exist – maybe someone could link me to it). Here’s my problem :

    I’ve got a CPT featuring profile of manufacturers. Then I’ve got a normal news section of regular posts, where I’de like to connect each single news to the profile connected. Here’s what it should look like:

    <ul>
	<li>
		<span><a href="link-2-cpt-profile-post">profile-name</a></span>
		<h2><a href="link-2-regular-post">news-title</a></h2>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span><a href="link-2-cpt-profile-post">profile-name</a></span>
		<h2><a href="link-2-regular-post">news-title</a></h2>
	</li>
	<!--etc-->
</ul>

    I’ve created the following code and it works:

    function profiles_2_posts() {
    p2p_register_connection_type( array(
        'name' => 'profile_2_post',
        'from' => 'cpt_profiles',
        'to' => 'post',
		'reciprocal' => true,
		'duplicate_connections' => true
    ) );
}
add_action( 'p2p_init', 'profiles_2_posts' );

    But now I can’t figure out how to create the loop to create the list above.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks
    Paolo

  • Did you make single-cpt_profiles.php file in your template folder?
    Add this code to your single-cpt_profiles.php file. Whereever you want.

    <?php
// Find connected pages
$connected = new WP_Query( array(
  'connected_type' => 'profile_2_post',
  'connected_items' => get_queried_object(),
  'nopaging' => true,
) );

// Display connected pages
if ( $connected->have_posts() ) :
?>
<h3>Related pages:</h3>
<ul>
<?php while ( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post(); ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

<?php
// Prevent weirdness
wp_reset_postdata();

endif;
?>

    Hello cagdastakis, thanks for your quick reply

    …yes I’ve created the single-cpt_profiles.php file (I mean, I’m still working on it).

    But the fact is that I’d like to include the ul list I’ve posted above not inside the cpt template file, but in the homepage (and/or in a sidebar widget).
    Something just like a news box section, with a list of news title + the category or the tag of each single news, but instead of the category/tag I’d like to link to the profile post

    <ul>
 <li>
  <span><a href="link-2-cpt-profile-post">profile-name</a></span>
  <h2><a href="link-2-regular-post">news-title</a></h2>
 </li>
 <li>
  <span><a href="link-2-cpt-profile-post">profile-name</a></span>
  <h2><a href="link-2-regular-post">news-title</a></h2>
 </li>
 <!--etc-->
</ul>
