function my_create_post_types() { register_post_type( 'my_post_type', $args); register_post_type( 'my_other_post_type', $args); } add_action( 'init', 'my_create_post_types' ); The first link and this function has to be combined in some way. – Anoop Nov 30 '14 at 12:33
WordPress have on default no relationship possibilities for the same objects, like custom post type. But you can create a custom table or use the meta data on each post to create a relationship.
Ready to use
Also it give usable ready solutions:
For a custom solution about meta fields:
You find in this answer helpful hints and the source for a relationshep between the meta data.

I have enhanced the answer for more understanding. But I haven't add source, was redundant to a usable answer. – bueltge Nov 30 '14 at 13:36

The idea is good for adding a field in one post type from other related post type.That is not what iam asking.Suppose we submit an answer for a question,how to relate that question & answer for displaying them correctly.Both questions & answers are seperate cpt.How to display corresponding answers when a question link is clicked.Please check this link shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/add-metabox-custom-post-type – Anoop Dec 13 '14 at 8:45

Do you will display the answers to the questions in front end, 2 different CPTs? Or you will display this in a meta box inside the back end on the cpt question? But is not really different. The content inside the meta box or front end have the same loop to get the other CPT with the relationship from CPT "QuestioN" to CPT "Answer". – bueltge Dec 13 '14 at 19:32
