[Support request] Related Posts

Hi there,

I’m not sure what the goal is. I believe you’re asked something similar here? https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/show-posts-from-a-category-and-a-tag-2/#post-26687

Can you explain a bit more how it should differ? Also, are you asking for the theme’s blog post lists or still on WPSP plugin? Let us know.

You can try this PHP snippet on your GP Hook. Make sure Execute PHP is enabled.

<?php

function wpsp_terms(){
	
	$post_info = get_queried_object();
	$categories = get_the_category($post_info->ID);
	$tax_term = array();
	if( !empty($categories) ){
		foreach( $categories as $category ) {
				$tax_term[] = $category->slug;
		}
	}
	return $tax_term;
}

var_dump(wpsp_terms());

    $settings = array(
        'taxonomy' => 'category',
        'tax_term' => wpsp_terms(),
    );

    wpsp_display( 1699, $settings );

?>

Note: If there’s only 1 post on the category. Nothing will display because there’s no sibling posts within that category.

Also in above related articles show this code in front-end : array(1) { [0]=> string(20) “science-and-research” }

Ah yes, that’s from the var_dump() i forgot to remove. Let’s remove that.

Try this code.

<?php

function wpsp_terms(){
	
	$post_info = get_queried_object();
	$categories = get_the_category($post_info->ID);
	$tax_term = array();
	if( !empty($categories) ){
		foreach( $categories as $category ) {
				$tax_term[] = $category->slug;
		}
	}
	return $tax_term;
}
    $settings = array(
        'taxonomy' => 'category',
        'tax_term' => wpsp_terms(),
    );

    wpsp_display( 1699, $settings );

?>

IMPORTANT: Make sure you change the 1699 inside wpsp_display( 1699, $settings ); to the related post list WPS ID you’re using. Else, it won’t know what to use and it won’t work.

Strange, this code works on my end. Can explain a bit more on what’s going on? Perhaps you can link us to the page in question? Have you corrected the WPSP ID in the code?

Let us know.

Strange.

I’ve tested the code and it was working on my end.

Perhaps there’s an issue with how the code was added.

If you could temporarily provide us backend access, we could check out what seems to be the issue.

You can send the details through the contact page. https://wpshowposts.com/contact/

Alternatively, I was going to recommend GP Related Posts as WPSP isn’t exactly created to show related posts.
