This plugin is a excellent companion of Advanced Custom Fields PRO.
When dealing with relationship fields (which links a post to one or multiple other posts), you often stumble on having to link to a post that does not exist yet. This is a frustrating and time-consuming experience: you have to save the content you were working on, then create the new post, and finally reload your primary content to be able to link to the newly created post.
This plugin simplifies this process by allowing you to create the related posts on the fly.
INSTALLATION
Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
