Show Related Photos in Blog posts

Try a shortcode that specifies photos with certain tags like:

[wppa type="album" album="#tags,Duck;Owl"][/wppa]
for all photos that have tags Duck OR Owl
or
[wppa type="album" album="#tags,Duck,Owl"][/wppa]
for all photos that have tags Duck AND Owl

and try the shortcode generator as explained here: https://wppa.opajaap.nl/shortcodes-and-scripts/

Yes sure.

But how can that be automatic ?

The way you describe above needs the shortcodes to be entered in each blog post ?

thanks

You will have to tell wppa one or another way which keywords to use

I guess WPPA could use the tags (if any) that each post have ?

In any case i have to do it manually or just use something like that

https://wp-buddy.com/wiki/add-a-shortcode-to-every-post-or-page/

would that work ?

and to be honest, since i switched from Nextgen to WPPA, i’m just looking for a way to have NextGen’s Show Related Photos after each post.

If you want all words in the post to be treated as search items for tags on photos or as search items to be found in photo/album names/descriptions… i could make a simple special shortcode to do that.

No need to do all that.

I will find a way myself, since apparently i can’t replicate the Related Photos function i need.

Thanks

But i am quite willing to implement such functionality, if you supply me some more info on what you expect it to do without referring to other plugin(s).

Ok then.

I was using NextGen to show (automatically) related photos AFTER each Blog post.

I guess NextGen looked and compared the tags from Blog posts against the tags of Photos.

Not sure how to explain better.

thanks

Ok, i will think about it…

Related images

The function related images gives you now the possibilities to append images to a post (not a page) which contain related tags or categories. You can activate this in the options or you can modify your theme files, to place the images at a different position.

This is the code for the theme files :

if (function_exists(“the_related_images”))

the_related_images([string $type],[int $numbers]);
Parameters :

Possibles values for $type are:

tags (add related images based on the tags)
category (add related images based on the selected categories)

$numbers : Maximal number of images to show

Thanx for the info!

I implemented something alike in version 5.1.11. See the Changelog or the Shortcode reference

Yes, i saw that (#related.).

But how do i implement that ? hardcode it in the theme ? Or ?

Try this:

At the end of the page content add:

[wppa type="album" album="#related,tags"][/wppa] if there are photo tags that are words that appear in the pages content, or:

[wppa type="album" album="#related,desc"][/wppa] if there are words in the photo descriptions that appear in the pages content.
