[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] P2P not working with custom post types?

    I have installed the P2P plugin and have verified that it’s working by using the example code, connecting posts to pages. This works as expected, with the connections box showing up in the editor sidebar. However, when I try to connect two custom post types, it’s not showing up.
    I’ve created the two post types using the “Types” plugin, if that makes a difference. Here’s the code I’m using in functions.php:

    function my_connection_types() {
	// Make sure the Posts 2 Posts plugin is active.
	if ( !function_exists( 'p2p_register_connection_type' ) )
		return;

	p2p_register_connection_type( array(
		'name' => 'homes_to_communities',
		'from' => 'homes',
		'to' => 'communities'
	) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_connection_types', 100 );

    This plugin will be a perfect solution to my problem if I can get it to work… Thanks in advance!

    Are you sure the actual names for the post types are ‘homes’ and ‘communities’, rather than ‘home’ and ‘community’?

    Yeah, I tried it that way as well, but no go. I also verified in the DB that the “post_type” fields are indeed “communities” and “homes”. Anything else I might be missing?

    Does it work if you replace one of the post types with ‘post’?

    Also, you could try adding define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); to your wp-config.php file to see if P2P generates any notices.

    Indeed, the debugger is throwing two errors that “Post type ‘homes’ is not defined” (a 2nd message says ‘communities’) in the “type-factory.php” file on line 35.

    If I change the function to

    p2p_register_connection_type( array(
		'name' => 'homes_to_pages',
		'from' => 'homes',
		'to' => 'page'
	) );

    the regular pages and posts are connected, but not the homes pages. Weird. And I’m still getting the error that ‘homes’ post type isn’t defined in p2p…

    It seems the Types plugin registers the post types later. Try replacing ‘init’ with ‘wp_loaded’.
