This plugin is really helpful but am trying to figure out how I can also pull in the ‘set featured image’ functionality as well as pull in a custom taxonomy in the popup window when adding a subordinate post type. I’ve been searching for the code to add to the plugin but have no luck.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

]]>Not sure if this plugin is still in active development, but I hope it is. I think it will do exactly what I want.
I am running 3.6 and the Add New text does not show in the menu. It just has a dash.
Also, Not sure if I’m setting this up incorrectly, but I’ve re-saved my permalinks, but when I click on ‘view post’, I get a 404.
I’m hoping that when I have everything set correctly I will be able to have a book and from each book subordinate excerpts, reviews etc. display as https://www.susancrandall.net/books/book-title/excerpt.

]]>Hello Randy … I was searching everywhere for some help in getting this sort of thing working and came across your video and code here … so, first things first … THANK YOU …
I am at the tail end of rebuilding a client’s site from my initial build of it 7 years ago and needed a new way to recreate an immense hack I did back then to make this type of functionality work.
The scenario here is Artist and their subordinate Bio, Review, and Statement … the goal is to go from the artist archive to their single tsa_artist post type template and then from within that template have all their subordinate pages listed. The sidebar stays the same throughout as an index to all things Artist.
The work you’ve done here is absolutely perfect, but, I’m running into a bit of a wall.
I have already created the post types ( I roll my own here ) and switched all the old posts to their appropriate new homes, prior to discovering that their was no way I was going to pull this off with many2many … just keeping the artist’s featured image/aka profile pic at the top of the sidebar looks impossible without resorting back to my 06 hack.
The steps I’ve taken thus far are to activate your code … then comment out my initial registration ( registration only … all my $args/$labels remain ).
The result is that everything appears to be okay, and I initially thought I could just delete the old posts and recreate them with the new thickbox interface so that the relationships would show, but, when I went to do that I noticed that all three metaboxes share the same name inputs etc. … the Title is correct on all three, but, the inputs are all mirrors of each other.
I went ahead and attempted a test, and the post also showed up in all three metaboxes … and my permalinks are set up fairly normal, but, the permalink to the test subordinate post showed it as being nested within a sibling subordinate instead of the parent … in other words, the bio I made was inside reviews.
I know this is a book, but, I do try to be thorough~
I would love to send screenshots to show you what’s happening here and stay in touch as I implement this tomorrow ( yep, have just one day to finish ) if you have an email and are available … otherwise, any insight you may have on what could be happening here would be greatly appreciated ??

might there be a way to just use the native edit screen elements for editing a post in thickbox, including meta data, publishing options and all the other stuff?
Just an idea…

]]>As Brian pointed out in the comments here, the following parameter on the subordinate post type should be honored:
"'show_in_menu' => false"

]]>Hello, is there a way to get this to work with the following?
register_sub_post_type(‘mediahit’,$args,’post’);
It seems I can’t make a post type a subordinate to post.
Also when registering post types through register_sub_post_type, they aren’t detectable by plugins like Advanced Custom Fields. It would be awesome if we could use ACF to add fields to both the subordinate and superordinate type.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!

]]>Hello, this looks really neat and I was trying to use it, but there is zero documentation (not even in the code)!
Could you please add some documentation?
Many thanks!
