Hi,

I want to only show a specific custom post type (resort) if it has a connected CPT (Accommoation)

                 $resort_args = array(
                   'post_type' => 'resort',
                   'posts_per_page' => -1,
                   'tax_query' => array(
                     array(
                       'taxonomy' => '_resort_country',
                       'field'    => 'id',
                       'terms'    => $country->term_id
                     ),
                   ),
                   'relationship' => array(
                        'id' => 'accommodation_to_resorts',
                        'compare' => 'EXSISTS',
                        //This is an example not working
                    ),
                 );

  MB_Relationships_API::register( array(
        'id'   => 'accommodation_to_resorts',
        'from'   => array(
                    'object_type' => 'post',
                    'post_type'   => 'resort',
                    'meta_box'    => array(
                        'hidden'         => 'true',
                    ),
                ),
                'to'   => array(
                    'object_type' => 'post',
                    'post_type'   => 'accommodation',
                    'meta_box'    => array(
                        'title'         => 'Resort',
                        'context'       => 'side',
                        'empty_message' => 'No resorts.',
                    ),
                ),

Thanks in advanced

Hi Max,

Querying posts using relationship as a condition is not supported. You might want to query posts as usual, then perform an API call to get connected items for each post. Then you can use condition to decide whether to show them.
```
MB_Relationships_API::each_connected( array(
    'id'   => 'posts_to_pages',
    'from' => $wp_query->posts, // 'from' or 'to'.
) );

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    // Skip if no connected posts.
    if ( empty( $post->connected ) ) {
        continue;
    }

    // Output here
endwhile;
```
