This is the second part of the tutorial ‘Linking WordPress posts using custom fields’. If you haven’t read part 1, you’ll need to take a look at that first here.

In part 1 we learned how to link to a post, and display it’s content within our new post using custom fields and manipulating the single.php file. In this part we are going to learn how to link back to the post using another single.php file. This is quite simple and because we have already setup our WordPress blog with the correct custom fields, the only file we will need to modify is the template file performer-single.php.

I decided to explore some of these ways to query posts, and link them together, saving time publishing content
