Hello,
On all my relationships I get this error, with no change on my code that worked fine before. This is not limited to this relationship, it happens on all of them. Other then the error, the query results are returned correctly and shown on my pages so I'm assuming there is one query fired per relationship that messes things up. Can you help troubleshooting this?
I'm assuming the issue is at "AND mbr.to IN ()".

SELECT wp_posts.ID , mbr.to AS mbr_hotel_to_city_to FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_mb_relationships AS mbr ON (mbr.from = wp_posts.ID AND mbr.type = 'hotel_to_city' AND mbr.to IN ()) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('post', 'page', 'attachment', 'itinerary', 'top_activity', 'suggested_hotel', 'restaurant', 'city', 'shopping', 'room', 'hotel_activity', 'hotel_service', 'hotel', 'booking') AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_author = 2 AND wp_posts.post_status = 'private') GROUP BY mbr_hotel_to_city_to, wp_posts.ID ORDER BY mbr.order_to

Oh almost forgot! The code that defines relationships is in:
wp-content/plugins/mundana-itineraries/classes/MundanaItineraries_MetaBoxes.php on line 258 (function register_relationships).

The code that retrieves data is in the same directory, in the file MundanaItineraries.php on line 495 (method get_related_to) and 527 (method get_related_from).

In the theme this is used in several places, here is an example:
wp-content/themes/mundana/template-parts/content-hotel.php

Hello there, this is still an issue. Here are some more details shared by a fellow developer:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: to in /home/XYZ.cloudwaysapps.com/XYZ/public_html/wp-content/plugins/meta-box-aio/vendor/meta-box/mb-relationships/inc/query/normalizer.php on line 82

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near...
```
/**
 * Normalizes single relationship query arguments.
 *
 * @param array $args Query arguments.
 */
protected function normalize_args( $args ) {
    $direction    = isset( $args['from'] ) ? 'from' : 'to';
    $relationship = $this->factory->get( $args['id'] );

    $args['id_field']   = $relationship->get_db_field( $direction );
    $args['direction']  = $direction;
    $args['items']      = $this->get_ids( $args[ $direction ], $args['id_field'] );
    $args['reciprocal'] = $relationship->reciprocal;

    unset( $args[ $direction ] );
    return $args;
}
```
Sometimes the $args array doesn’t have a ‘to’ key. That’s where the php warning comes from. It's possible to fix the php warning by verifying if the ‘to’ key exists. If it’s missing, you can create it manually. This solution is not the best one because it fixes the PHP warning but it doesn’t fix the database error.
```
/**
     * Normalizes single relationship query arguments.
     *
     * @param array $args Query arguments.
     */
    protected function normalize_args( $args ) {
        $direction    = isset( $args['from'] ) ? 'from' : 'to';
        $relationship = $this->factory->get( $args['id'] );

$args['id_field']   = $relationship->get_db_field( $direction );
$args['direction']  = $direction;
if(!isset($args['to']))
{
    $args['to'] = null;
}
$args['items']      = $this->get_ids( $args[ $direction ], $args['id_field'] );
$args['reciprocal'] = $relationship->reciprocal;

unset( $args[ $direction ] );
return $args;
}
```

For me also, same error.
So, I have disabled the render function. Even after it shows the error.

Hi all!

I had a similar problem. In my case I was able to track this down to a conflict with FacetWP.
To avoid this conflict with FacetWP, you can use this snippet of code
```
add_filter( 'facetwp_is_main_query', function( $is_main_query, $query ) {
                if ( $is_main_query ) {
                    if ( ! empty( $query->query['relationship'] ) ) {
                        $is_main_query = false;
                    }
                }

                return $is_main_query;
            }, 10, 2 );
```
Hope this helps,
Ruud
