I am using ACF Pro to make a relationship between two custom post types.

One CPT is a thing and the other is a Container of Things. I need to solve the issue of things within a container of things being visible when container of things has been unpublished.

I think using something like pre_get_posts to filter all queries that happen before any results get returned is the solution, but I am not 100% sure. Or perhaps some way to unpublish all things when the relationship field post becomes unpublished.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

  • ACF dev support questions and other 3rd party plugin/theme dev support is off topic and not in this stacks scope. You should ask via their official support routes or in their groups and communities.

You should probably check out pre_post_update.

Use pre_post_update to check for a post update within your custom post type Container of Things. Check for your conditions. Then, get the connected Things and use wp_update_post to unpublish these posts.
