Title: [Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] 2 Bug Reports Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] 2 Bug Reports * [Derek Perkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploobers/) * (@ploobers) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/) * Using the plugin API, I have found two errors. * 1) p2p_is_connected – This returns true if the first parameter is connected to anything, regardless whether it is connected to the second parameter. * 2) p2p_connect – I am connecting two custom post types, but the reciprocal argument isn’t working in the ui. If I call it as p2p_connect( cpt1, cpt2 ), it doesn’t show up in the UI, though it is stored correctly and returned correctly using query_posts. If I reverse the arguments however and call p2p_connect( cpt2, cpt1), it does show up in the UI. * Thanks for a great plugin!

Thanks for reporting. * As for the second issue, the arguments are reversed automatically when you use the default UI, so in a sense it’s expected behaviour. * Thread Starter [Derek Perkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploobers/) * (@ploobers) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844535) * Thanks for the response. * On the second issue, why don’t you just pull in any connected posts, rather than restricting it to one direction? I know that I have connected posts now in my database that aren’t showing up. * Thread Starter [Derek Perkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploobers/) * (@ploobers) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844536) * Another issue that I have noticed is trying to relate a post type to itself. * 1) When I relate a post type to itself, the p2p UI shows up in every edit screen. * 2) When I use query_posts with the ‘connected’ parameter on the same post type, the query always returns itself with the results. * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844576) * What do you mean by “returns itself” ? * Thread Starter [Derek Perkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploobers/) * (@ploobers) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844577) * For example, if I have custom post type ‘shoe’. I connect shoe A to Shoes B and C. When I query for shoes related to A, it returns A, B and C, instead of just B and C. * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844578) * Ok, this is now fixed in the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/posts-to-posts.zip).

Suppose you query ‘connected’ => ‘A’. * If there’s a connection A->B and another one B->A, it will choose one or the other, to avoid returning B twice. * If you happen to have different data attached to each of those connections, this might cause problems. * Thread Starter [Derek Perkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploobers/) * (@ploobers) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844579) * I think that it should return the same post twice, with the different p2pmeta information attached to each post. If the user doesn’t want multiple copies of a post returned, they should either remove one of the connections or filter on the p2pmeta to only return one. * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844580) * I guess you’re right. Forcing an arbitrary resolution for duplicates isn’t a good idea. Updated dev version. * [gasparking](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gasparking/) * (@gasparking) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-2-bug-reports/#post-1844581) * Hi Scribu, * In the p2p meta box, i had a problem trying to link to a post which has only two letters in his title.
