Link two post types

    I’m creating an online book store.

    I have two CPTs. Books and Characters. I need to link characters to books and those books to their respective characters.

    On the book page, I’ll output the characters and on the character page I need to display all the books that contains the characters.

    Can CMB2 do this?

    Honestly, sounds like a job that https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-posts/ would handle pretty well. I am aware how long ago it’s been since that received an update, but I also have not yet heard of it breaking with latest core either. It’s also used extensively in a client project I’m a part of.

    That said, if it’s desired to stick with just CMB2, the closest I can think of for a way to do such a thing via meta would be both post types getting some sort of select or multicheck or something with a repeater that allows you to choose from each post type. You will be able to fill in the available options with the posts from each post type as needed to choose from.

    CPT-onomies might be worth looking into: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cpt-onomies/
