Hello,
I am taking over a wp site for a community theater.
The main part of our site contains a page for each show and on the page is the cast list which links to a page for each persons bio.
I was wondering if theres a way where a bio page would auto update with a line saying they are in a particular show by only adding them to the show page. To clarify this would be a running list which would show all the shows they’ve been a part of.
I had an issue today where a cast member was changed. So I had to remove the outgoing cast member from the show page and add the new cast member. I then had to go update the bio page for both members to remove or add the show. I’d love to make these 3 steps 1.

There are definitely ways to do that, but it requires knowledge of custom post types / custom fields and most likely coding – it’s not something a non-developer could usually do – you’ll want to get in contact with a WP web developer.
u/bluesix is right that this isn’t a basic feature. You’d need a custom post type for your performances and one for your performers. Establishing the relationships wouldn’t be too difficult with the Meta Box plugin (metabox.io) which has an add on called MB Relationships. I think you can use the free version if Meta Box ). You’d need to write some custom code to display the information and that might include some theme file development.
How comfortable are you with these topics? If this is something you want to try but it might be too advanced for you, hit me up. I may be able to give you some pointers. 👊
