 * I have the pro version and just going through the testing of it.
 * I’m just trying to clarify the difference between the post object, page link 
   and relationship fields. From what I can see having tested them they all pull
   in posts that you allow when setting up the field and you can have various settings
   etc for each but I can’t disseminate a significant difference between them.
 * Am I right in assuming that there is very little difference between page link
   and post object but the relationship field gives you a few more options like 
   minimum and maximum posts?
    I guess that the principle of what you can show on
   the front end for each of these 3 fields is once more almost the same for each
   one and obviously limited only by the php and css you develop?
 * Sorry for dumb questions I just can’t see much difference between them, anything
   I’ve missed please let me know.
 * Thanks and great plugin, top work.
