Fantastic – Great functionality, support and interface

I agree with others that this should be part of the wordpress core. I found it very surprising that posts can not be related to one another especially with the onset of custom posts and you get in all sorts of a muddle creating hacks and custom queries with just taxonomies. I like this plugin as the admin user interface is great. Good documentation and good support from the plugin author.

Compared to the alternatives ( I have not really tried them much ), I like this one because it sticks to relational database terminology and you can set rules for the allowed relationships which can be reflected in the admin boxes. e.g. only allow many to one relationships with posts that have a certain tag.

I also think it is a good thing that there is no attempt to create a user interface for defining the relationships. If you begin by creating the relationships in your functions.php, you quickly see how to further customise it to your exact needs.

Thinking how it could be improved? Maybe some options to allow “quick edit” to make connections. Maybe some options for “bulk-actions” for making connections.
