Efficient many-to-many connections between posts, pages, custom post types, users.

== Description ==

This plugin allows you to create many-to-many relationships between posts of any type: post, page, custom etc. A few example use cases:

* manually curated lists of related posts
* post series
* products connected to retailers
* etc.

Additionally, you can create many-to-many relationships between posts and users. So, you could also implement:

* favorite posts of users
* multiple authors per post
* etc.
