Bricks includes ACF Relationship type of query out of the box for showing posts (on single pages of a post type) related via a ACF Relationship field to another post type.
For more flexibility, though, you might want to use a posts query loop instead. This Pro tutorial shows how.
We shall work with "Game" and "Review" CPTs in this example.
Step 1
Create both your CPTs at ACF → Post Types.
Create field groups for each having a Relationship type of field.
Game CPT field group:
Review CPT field group:
Game CPT field group:
Review CPT field group:
Here we created a Relationship type field called related_reviews
for game
CPT and set this field to bidirectionally link to related_games
field of the review
CPT.
Similarly, a Relationship field called related_games
has been added for the review
CPT which is bidirectional with game
CPT's related_reviews
field.
Step 2
Let's work on showing related reviews when a single game post is being viewed on the front end.
Here's the exported template from our dev site. You can import this and apply a template condition to apply it to all singular posts of the game
CPT. You should also select the Block element on which query loop is enabled, click Sign code and Save.
Alternatively, the manual steps are below.
Create a template titled "Game" of type "Single".
Edit it with Bricks and apply a template condition to make it apply to all singular posts of the game
CPT.
Add a Section showing Post Title and Post Content.
Add another Section for showing the related reviews.
Add a "Related Review" Heading inside this Section's Container.
We shall programmatically add s
at the end of the heading text if there's more than one related review.
Add Container > Block > Basic Text.
Enable query loop on the Block.
Toggle Query editor (PHP) on and paste this PHP:
