Efficient many-to-many connections between posts, pages, custom post types, users.
This plugin allows you to create many-to-many relationships between posts of any type: post, page, custom etc. A few example use cases:
- manually curated lists of related posts
- post series
- products connected to retailers
- etc.
Additionally, you can create many-to-many relationships between posts and users. So, you could also implement:
- favorite posts of users
- multiple authors per post
- etc.
I, scribu, will not be offering support (either free or paid) for this plugin anymore.
If you want to help maintain the plugin, fork it on github and open pull requests.
