How to use the plugin?

Hi,
I don't understand how I use the plugin.
I have set up a child-parent relationship with CPT-UI and I have installed your plugin and ACF (free). I don't find an option to edit childs via ACF. Is there a how-to guide?

Thank you and best regards
Julian

Binding existing posts

It would be awesome if one could bind existing posts, similar to how Relationship field works. Once those existing posts were added (maybe through a search interface above the child post list) they could then be edited in the child post field. The question is then: Should you be able to bind a post to mulitple child fields (one-to-many as opposed to one-to-one relationship)? I think it should be possible.

Relate helper functions for parent child relationships

Create two functions to query a posts children and to query a posts parents.

Multiste Incompatibility Perhaps?

Local stack is Pressmatic with Nginx, MariaDB ad PHP 7.0.3. I'm building a multisite network.

I installed the plugin. It activated fine. After I used it and finished setting up a field how I wanted it to be, I received the following errors: http://drop.rusty.dog/hrUy and http://drop.rusty.dog/hrXW I was also redirected to the blog post list screen.

When revisiting the ACF field group, the same PHP error was present. I disabled and deleted the plugin until it's ironed out.

conflicts with WPML, no translation added

When adding child-posts, the wpml-table icl_translations isn't populated.

I think using wp_insert_post() should be enough,
but somehow it dosn't work.

Think this is a wpml-bug, but report it here, as more user of this addon my trip over it.

a workaround to make it populate is to call the method:

global $iclTranslationManagement;
$iclTranslationManagement->add_missing_language_information();

Automatically Delete Posts

Create an option to automatically delete the child post when it is removed from the parent. First thought on UX is to have a modal prompt asking if they would like to unlink the post or remove it completely. The answers to this question will need to be stored in a field that is passed back to the update_value ACF function on the field so the correct action can be taken.
