Help. I think I have been thinking about this too long. How could I accomplish the following:

– I have a custom post type called ebh_locations.
– Within that custom post type I have a custom field to get terms for the taxonomy category
– On a single post (from the taxonomy category) I want to list the relevant posts from the custom post type called ebh_locations on the single post.

So for example if I check off the category term Addiction within my custom post type I would like that custom post type post to show up in any post within the Addiction category.

So a post listed with the Addiction category would have an area that says:
Addiction is treated at the following locations: [get the custom post type posts that have the category term Addiction checked]

HI @aengstrom

This should be possible by appending a tax_query in a WP_Query loop to filter the posts using the assigned terms. The code would look like this:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'ebh_locations',
	'tax_query' => array(
	array(
		'taxonomy' => 'category',
		'field'    => 'slug',
		'terms'    => array('addiction')
	),
	),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
