    58 Here is how you do in PODS. First, you set up the three custom content types with multiple select bi-directional fields in PODS. In the "movie" custom post type you choose stars from a list of stars, select reviews from a list of reviews, and save the post. "The next step is?" There is no next step. It is done. Simple, intuitive, without coding, without flow chart, without middle steps. When your customers open the "movie" custom post, they will see the performing stars, and movie reviews. When they open the "star" custom posts, they will see the movies of the star. This feature is cool, isn't it? Especially this is achieved using a graphical user interface to set up fields and templates without any programming. It can even be done by people without programming experience. The framework codes handling the relationships and many other features are written and optimised by professional programmers who maintain PODS, available for free.

    6068And PODS doesn't stop there. It enables you to extend custom content types created by other plugins, create and assign user roles, and create relationships to other content types, themes, database tables outside of Wordpress, and even network sites. With PODS you can create any relationships that you imagine. The combination is endless.
     
    6270And better yet, PODS allows you to import pods fields settings, and migrate your field settings from other plugins. If you need to set up dozens or hundreds of custom content types and fields, you can simply edit the field settings in a text editor, and import it within a few minutes.
