How to build this structure?

  • Hi

    I have to build a new webpage for a customer. I’m quite used to work with WordPress.
    But now I have a problem, and I hope someone can give me a hint on how to solve it.

    There are:
    5 pages on different topics (as massage, coiffure, therapy, …)
    8 members of the company

    Each member has 1-3 topics associated (Person A works in massage and therapy, person B in therapy and XY)

    On each page, I’d like to show a short portrait of every person associated (with a link to a full portrait)
    And second, I’d like to have a page where all members are listed

    What would be the best way to set up WordPress? My idea was to create a custom post type for “members” and link them to the topics by custom fields – but this seems to be quite complicated to maintain afterwards (new members, new topics, …)

    How would you solve this problem?
    Thanks for any help ??

  • This is more of a subjective question, but there is a plugin that I have found that does many to many relations for posts. Posts to Posts By using this with a custom post type, I think would be the best way to accomplish this type of setup.

    Hm, looks nice, but updated 2 years ago… I don’t like these kind of plugins where you’ll never know when they suddenly stop working after an update ??

    Perhaps I’ll try with this section of ACF if there’s no easier solution:
    https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/relationship/

    ACF is great I work with it everyday and it’s highly stable, well-supported. It definitely provides a good base for the custom fields, and the relationship between posts. It will be largely up to you to render the data on the front-end, using custom post templates and the ACF field output functions, almost everything can be loaded with get_field() and you’ll need to check the ACF docs on how to render things like images which are returned as arrays.
