JetEngine<\/a><\/strong> is the plugin addon for Elementor editor which allows adding the dynamic listing and grid layouts and provides a way to display the custom posts and taxonomies within any page templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019ll show you how to choose the needed post relations and how to set them with the JetEngine plugin in Legacy Relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to use Refactored Relations feature<\/strong><\/a> for more possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JetEngine provides you with 3 types of such relations, so let\u2019s take a quick overview of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post Relations Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

One-to-one posts relation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This relations type implies that one parent post type can be connected only to one child post type. E.g., one country has only one capital, and there are no capitals that are actually related to many countries at once. So the relation between the “Country” and “Capital” post types should be \u201cone-to-one\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"one-to-one\n\n\n\n

One-to-many posts relation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This means that one parent post type can be related to many other child post types. E.g., one book has only one author, however, one author could have written multiple books. So the parent \u201cauthor\u201d post type should have \u201cone-to-many\u201d relations type with the \u201cbook\u201d child post type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"one-to-many\n\n\n\n

Many-to-many posts relation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Allows linking a lot of parent post types to many child post types at once. E.g., the is a \u201cproduct\u201d child post type, which is related to the \u201cshop\u201d parent post type. However, there are many products in each of the shops, and there are different shops where each of the products can be sold. So, the relations are \u201cmany-to-many\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"many-to-many\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
