WordPress: Displaying “related” custom posts

[contentJones]

Maybe I’m missing something here, but my brain is having trouble solving this.

I have two custom post types. Service and Case_Studies. I have a page that displays the service where I would also like to display three Case_Studies that are somehow attached to the service.

I could write up separate templates for each service, but that would be scary. I could write up some if thens….if Service = Planning, display Case_Studies from category X, but that would be difficult to maintain if adding a new service.

Maybe a category parent-child set up?

Any ideas?

Doesn’t sound too difficult. I would attach a category or custom taxonomy to those you are trying to combine and output that category or taxonomy.

Thanks Chris, I needed that. I attached the custom taxonomy to both of them, not just one. Next I used taxonomy.php for the template and was able to alter the query in different spots to pull everything attached to that category.

Muy bueno. Gracias.
Pablo.
