Currently the best way I know to handle that is the Posts 2 Posts plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/ Here’s an example showing how to set up the custom post types (if you already have them it’s more for other’s benefit who might be reading this) as well as the function call to p2p_register_connection_type() needed by the plugin … Read more
Here’s what I usually use the pre_get_posts action to change a single query value for a taxonomy or category page: /** * Control the number of search results */ function custom_posts_per_page( $query ) { if ( $query->is_tax(‘mytaxonomy’) || $query->is_category(‘mycategory’) ) { set_query_var(‘posts_per_page’, 9); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_posts_per_page’ );
