   Here's what I want to do... (is it possible?)

   I am writing a tourism website and I want several Post types... Towns, Hotels, Restaurants, Tourist Attractions etc

   Now say I write a post about a Town, let say Blackpool in England, and that post contains lots of information about that town for tourists.

   Then I write another post about a hotel in Blackpool, and another post about a tourist attraction in Blackpool.

   I would like for main Blackpool post to have a section that shows hotels in Blackpool, Restaurants in Blackpool and Tourist attractions in blackpool, which themselves will be other posts.

   If that makes sense. Is it possible?

   Yes - that's do-able using a few secondary Loops based on tags and custom post types.

   So I have looked at the pages you mention above, thanks, I think I will be able to fathom that with time.

   Save me wrongly going down this route, will these multiple loops allow me to...

   1st loop: The post about blackpool (Title, author, post content)

   2nd loop: List of Posts with type 'hotel' and tagged 'blackpool' (For each: Title linked to full post, summary text, post image)

   3rd loop: List of Posts with type 'restaurants' and tagged 'blackpool' (For each: Title linked to full post, summary text, post image)

   ?

   Hopefully I will be able to work out the PHP for these loops.

   Sorry, can anyone help. I;ve tried to work this out but I can work out how to code the multiple loop..

   Single Post template

   1st loop is the standard post loop

   2nd loop shows all posts that have any matching tag to the main post and are of post type Hotel.

   3rd loop shows all posts that have any matching tag to the main post and are of post type Attraction.
