I am currently using the BAW Manual Related Posts plugin in my WordPress site and would like to understand how to access the content for the manual related posts associated with a specific vendor.

Could you please provide guidance on:

1. Database Structure: Which database tables and columns are used to store the manual related posts for vendors?
2. Retrieving Data: What is the recommended method to access or retrieve these related posts programmatically?

Your assistance with these questions would be greatly appreciated as it will help me integrate this functionality more effectively into my application.

Thank you for your support!

Receiving this warning message after installing jQuery Migrate Helper to get another plugin working with most recent version of WordPress.

jQuery Migrate Helper — Warnings encountered

This page generated the following warnings:

https://MYWEBSITEHERE.org/wp-content/plugins/baw-manual-related-posts/js/bawmrp.min.js: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated

Please make sure you are using the latest version of all of your plugins, and your theme. If you are, you may want to ask the developers of the code mentioned in the warnings for an update.

I am able to make it go away by changing the .live to .on in said file

I still use this plugin, even though it is no longer kept up-to-date, because it works! It allows me to add related post links and thumbnails manually, and so doesn’t use a lot of database time like an automatic related posts plugin.

But it has started playing up on me. I have been able to fix a couple of things by amending the code (something I would be hesitant to do if it was still being updated), but my latest problem may be beyond me.

When I try to add related posts, I can click on the ones I want and there is no response – most of the time.

So I’m wondering please:

1. Has anyone tried to modify this plugin and can offer me advice please?

2. Or failing that, are there other manual related post plugins out there that simplify this task, or will I have to do it all manually without a plugin?

Thanks for any help.

Just posting this in case other’s run into it. I’ve switched to another solution.

This plugin seems to set 1000’s of transients in the wp_options with autoload set to yes. Which within a few days means every page load was autoloading 5000 options. Yikes.

I temporaryily fix would be to set these to not autoload
UPDATE wp_options SET autoload=’No’ WHERE option_name LIKE “_transient_%”

However, after that it just created 1000’s of new transients within a few days.

I gave up before looking at fixing the code, but it shouldn’t be too hard a fix.

When your plugin is used with WP_DEBUG===true it throws errors.

To reproduce, change your wp-config.php to include this setting:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

Next delete the record in wp_options where option_name='bawmrp' just to be sure.

Then visit your settings page and select “Posts” and click save.

Now visit any post on the front-end of the website. You will see something similar to the following:

how i can change Thumbnails size

Hi,

I understood that when I manually relate one post (ie Post A) to another (ie Post B), then I can see in the detail view of each post, the relation between the two.
This is not working on my WP setup.
Anyone who has an idea?

Regards, George

Hi,

I really like the plugin and I was wondering if you are going to add support for amp?
Images don’t seem to work on amp pages.

Would be a great update.

Thanks for considering it.

Kind regards,
Dominic

I am using the latest version available (1.8.8) and when I try to sort the posts manually, the post screen does not respect the order. I’m using a theme developed by me. Is it necessary to load some .js of those that come with the plugin?

Thank you very much.

I have a “reviews” custom post type. If I select the option to generate posts automatically it shows other review posts from any category instead of from the same category only.

this code is better, in case the plugin is disabled:

<?php 
    if(function_exists('bawmrp_the_content'))
        echo do_shortcode( '[manual_related_posts]' );
?>

I am using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/baw-manual-related-posts/

I am trying to modify how my related posts are displayed but can not figure it out.

I would like to display the full title (as opposed to the trimmed version) and add some meta data (author and post date). I’ve tried looking at /frontend-noajax.inc.php to see if I could modify it but my php skills are minimal. I am not showing a thumbnail nor excerpt.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks.

Can you please provide some examples of how to use the filters for the less saavy of us? Specifically, I am interested in adding the date and author of a post to the list along with the title and permalink.

Thanks so much!

Hi. I have a problem with the plugin. When i change the pictures of articles….the plugin doesn’t refresh and it takes the old images which are not existing on the website anymore. I add post in “Related posts” manually.

I need to restart somehow the plugin so it can grab new links. I tried to deactivate/activate the plugin but this didnt solve. I also deleted the cache or my WP…still didnt work.

Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi Julio,

On a blog with 300 posts and 6 CTP with 120 posts (these posts are made by CTP for having an easier administration and for SEO reasons), I would have different widget of related posts in sidebar by using a different shortcode at each time :

1. On CTP posts : a shortcode like [bawmrp – tous les CTP idems – 4 posts – random display – random order – thumbnail mode]

2. On posts : [bawmrp – Same category posts – 4 posts – random display – random order – thumbnail mode – nofollow]

Do you think it’s possible ? How can I do that ?

Thanks for your answer,
Arnolito

Hello,
I would edit the titles that appears with the plugin.

I have a web series with titles like this
Example: CassTonNez season 1
I would just keep the Season 1.

Is it possible ?
Thank you in advance

In inc/backend-noajax.inc.php you have this line near the bottom:

$wpdb->query( "DELETE from $wpdb->options WHERE option_name LIKE '%bawmrp_{$post_ID}%'" );

This actually doesn’t work as expected on my multisite installation. If I remember rightly (I found this error months ago), the problem was that when you save the related posts, you do it via set_transient(). That creates an entry in the sub-site’s options table (i.e. wp_2_options), which is exactly what we want. But when you delete it, you use $wpdb->options, which doesn’t take multisite into consideration, so you actually delete from the generic wp_options table, rather than the individual sub-site table. This caused the transients to never get deleted.

I was able to fix the problem by replacing it with this instead:

$wpdb->query( "DELETE from " . $wpdb->get_blog_prefix() . "options WHERE option_name LIKE '%bawmrp_{$post_ID}%'" );

get_blog_prefix() will get the database prefix, taking multisite into consideration. Then append “options” to it.

I’d appreciate it if you could adjust this so I don’t have to make the patch on my own after every update. ??

Hi,

I’ve an issue with the plugin since a few days. I made a lot of change and did not realise directly that BAW MRP is not working anymore.

I still have the data in the Database but it’s not linked anymore when I open an article (back-end or front-end.

Example:

(21146, ‘_transient_bawmrp_4442_6d088faebc7e’, ‘a:3:{s:4:”head”;s:50:”<div class=”bawmrp”><h3>Related content:</h3>

“;s:4:”list”;a:2:{i:0;s:81:”<li class=”bawmrp_manual”>5-O-O“;i:1;s:73:”<li class=”bawmrp_manual”>T“;}s:4:”foot”;s:11:”

</div>”;}’, ‘yes’),

Do you have any idea what I could do to fix the sync between the DB and the backend?
Let me know if you need any information.

Thanks

Hello.

I got the warning:

Notice: Undefined index: in_content in
baw-manual-related-posts\inc\frontend-noajax.inc.php on line 25

Please fix it and use more safe code in your plugins;-)

PS it’s not good way to develop plugin with disabled WP_DEBUG const

Thanks!

I need a premium version of the plugin with “both direction”, i know that this feature was removed in version 1.8.6

You can release the 1.8.5 version to download or email?

or provide the code of “both direction”?

Bought the premium plug-in available but not served…

Thank you very much in advance

Hi, this plugin works well for me, but I was wondering. When searching for posts or pages, it would be really helpful to be able to search for pages with a particular tag or category (either would be fine).

Is this possible in any way please?

Thanks.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/baw-manual-related-posts/

Don’t display list of posts.
Return error with the research of posts.

What a pity !!!

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/baw-manual-related-posts/

If I enable the plugin everything works fine until I select related posts for a post. When i navigate to it I get: No data received ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE;

I really need this plugin to work for my website. Thank you in advance

Hi Julio,

Is there a way to reactivate the bidirectional related posts?

Thanks,

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/baw-manual-related-posts/

Hi.
I encounter aproblem when ordering related post (drag n’ drop).

When changing the order in backend of a post editing, the order is not repport on front.
And i didn’t find any cache option as you describe.

To get it works, i have to modify your function like describe in an other issue

global $bawmrp_options;

	$ids = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_yyarpp', true );
	$orig_order=wp_parse_id_list($ids);
	if( $only_published ){

		//$published_ids = !empty( $ids ) != '' ? implode( ',', wp_parse_id_list( wp_list_pluck( get_posts( array( 'include' => $ids, 'post_type' => $bawmrp_options['post_types'] ) ), 'ID' ) ) ) : array();
		$published_ids = !empty( $ids ) != '' ? wp_parse_id_list( wp_list_pluck( get_posts( array( 'include' => $ids, 'post_type' => $bawmrp_options['post_types'] ) ), 'ID' ) )  : array();
		$ids = array();
		foreach ($orig_order as $id){
			if (in_array($id,$published_ids))
				array_push($ids,$id);
		}
		$ids = implode( ',',$ids);

	}else{

		$ids = !empty( $ids ) != '' ? implode( ',', wp_parse_id_list( $ids ) ) : array();
	}
	return $ids;

How to get it work without modifying your code ?
