Hyperlink to associated CPT

    This seems very powerful, but I haven’t quite worked out how it all works.

    I have one custom post type, “unit”, which I have associated (using the CPT’onomies plugin) with another called “instructor”. Using the shortcode [content taxonomy="instructor"] I am able to show the name of the instructor (or instructors) for that unit.

    What I would like to do is to make that into a hyperlink, so that clicking onto the instructor’s name takes the user to that instructor’s post page. Is that possible and, if so, how do I do that?

    There’s no built-in way to do it, but I think it’s possible. From inside a unit post, you can loop through taxonomy terms for the current post like this:

    [for each="instructor" current="true"]
  <a href="[url site]/instructor/[each slug]">
    [each name]
  </a>
[/for]

    The exact URL will depend on how you have the permalinks set up.

    From inside another post type like a page, you can use the loop to target a unit post:

    [loop type="unit" name="something"]
  [for each="instructor"]
    <a href="[url site]/instructor/[each slug]">
      [each name]
    </a>
  [/for]
[/loop]

    Wow, thank you very much!

    I just copied and pasted your first piece of code and it works like a charm!

    No doubt I’ll also use the second on another page too. Thanks again!
