# relationship between posts

 * hello all
 * i’m using wordpress already as a blog-system for 3 years. now i want to go a 
   bit further and use wordpress as some kind of “real” cms.
 * for a project i need to create relations between different posts. e.g. i have
   a content type/category “artist” and a content-type “cd”. now i want to create
   a 1:n-relationship between these both content-types. one approach could be to
   use tagging and enter the artists name as a tag, but i would like to create a
   real post for each artist and relate n-cds to the artist.
 * has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

 * By content-type, do you mean category (a category ‘Artist’ and a category ‘CD’)?

 * Wouldn’t it be easier then to add the post to both categories? (Let the post 
   itself be the link between the two categories?)

 * that’s not what i want to achieve. i would like to connect a post “artist coldplay”
   to a post “CD Viva la vida” and to a post “CD Clocks”. a relational connection,
   so that on the post “Coldplay” i can list the both CD-entries.

 * Aaah, ok. That makes sense 🙂
 * Perhaps one of the following plugins could help you?
    - [In-Series](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/in-series/)
    - [Organize Series](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/organize-series/)
 * If they don’t do what you want, I’d go with adding the tags manually.

 * these plugins could be another solution. thank you for your support. but they
   are not the solution i was really looking for, to build relational database connections
   between posts (as i can do it e.g. in drupal). as far as i can see now, this 
   is not possible within wordpress or additional plugins.

 * Would [this plugin](http://pods.uproot.us/) be something you could use?

   a try over christmas vacation. thank you very much for your efforts.

 * No problem 🙂 The plugin was in my plugin list (dashboard) and had to check it
   out. Looked perfect for you (at least, from what I’ve read), so I just had to
   let you know ofcourse 🙂
