Looper Provider Question

[xRae]

Is it possible to create a looper provider from one post type, and call the info from an ACF relationship field in another?

Explanation… two post types, X and Y.

Post Type X, has an ACF relationship field, which includes Y when they relate.

On Y’s layout, I would like to have a provider that shows all X posts that has Y in them.

I hope what I am asking makes sense. I tried with wp-query, and dynamic a bit, but couldn’t figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @xRae,

Thanks for reaching out.
I would suggest you go through the following article on a similar topic.

Dynamic ACF Relationship Fields Between 2 CPTs

Hello, I’ve been searching and searching and can’t seem to figure out if this is possible or if I’m just not understanding any of the posts. I have 2 custom post types: Actor Classes & Teachers I’m creating the Actors archive page using the layout builder. The actor class subfields from a repeater come in fine (time, day, level, age), but the only field that doesn’t show properly is the “course_teacher” field which is a relationship (tied to the Teachers cpt). In the “course_teacher” relat…

Pro and ACF - selecting a CPT via a relationship field and then outputting flexible content

Hi - To be clear - when I’m referring to ‘menus’ here, I mean the kind you look at in a restaurant to order your food - not Wordpress menus! I have a site I’m building for a small cafe and I’d like for them to be able to create various “food menus” using a flexible content field within a custom post type of ‘food_menus’. Then they can choose which “food menu” appears on their /menus page by selecting the appropriate one via a relationship field. I then want to be able to output this “Food Menu…

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Thanks for digging those up, but I did find those in a search. Unfortunately, neither are quite what I am looking to do.

I need to list all posts of X on Y’s layout. The issue is I am trying to grab the looper info by using X’s ACF relationship field. I probably have to write some php, and hook it. I was just trying to avoid it if I could.

Hello @xRae,

You can use a Query String Looper Provider which you can a custom query string to return X post that has a custom meta or ACF or taxonomy where it relates to Y post. Please check out this codex:

• https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#taxonomy-parameters
• https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#custom-field-post-meta-parameters

You would need to have knowledge of the custom post type relationship to be able to get the right query string. if you are not familiar, you may need to contact a 3rd party developer since what you are trying to do is beyond the scope of our support already.

Best Regards.
