It supports reciprocal and bi-directional relationships.

Why Do You Need Posts To Posts Relationships In WordPress?

Post relationships is a missing part in WordPress. The only "built-in" way that mimic the post relationship in WordPress is the post_parent for pages where you can create many child pages of a page (a one-to-many relationship). Unfortunately, that's available for pages and hierarchical post types only. Besides, it's not many-to-many relationship.

Below are some examples of posts to posts relationships that might help you see the benefit of this feature:

Creating Related Posts In WordPress

The simplest example is to manually create related posts in your WordPress website. When you edit a post, you can select posts that have similar or related content and display them in the frontend for further reading.

You can also query backward: displaying posts that link to the being read post as a reference to provide more information to your readers. With this, you don't need a WordPress related posts plugin anymore.

Example: Events And Bands

Suppose you have two custom post types, event and band, where:

If people want to buy tickets, they could search for events in their location and see what bands are playing on a given date, or they could search for bands they like and see what date they are playing near their location.

In this example, we have created many-to-many relationships between events and bands.

Bi-directional relationships

MB Relationships allows you to create bi-directional connections. You will be able to query back and forth without any problem.

The data is stored in the database as a pair of (from_id, to_id), thus making it independent from either side.

Besides, for each side, there's a meta box that shows what are connected from/to. So you don't have to worry about the direction of the connection anymore.

An Alternative For The Posts 2 Posts Plugin (P2P Plugin)

MB Relationships is very much inspired by the popular plugin Posts 2 Posts which is not maintained anymore. We have taken the idea and made some improvements. The codebase and data structure is very similar.
