Hi there, is it somehow possible to use custom titles for related posts?

Meaning: Instead of showing the title, I’d prefer custom titles.

I have sent the settings to this (for sidebar)

View post on imgur.com

However, it is still constantly showing 20+ links on the side.
I have change it to show 1, 2 and fewer, purge cache and still no changes being made.
I changed some other settings such as show picture and such and it reflects.
Is there something im doing wrong?

Resolved..!

appearance > settings doesn’t show any. I only got the widget. Wasn’t the plugin also for pages? Apparently it ain’t ready for latest WP.

I am using TOOLSET (WP-Types).

I added a taxonomy called “Related Tags” to my Pages and Articles (Articles is a CPT).

Then I added a single tag to a handful of Pages and Articles. The tag was simply called “Fishing”.

When I brought up any of the Articles that had the tag “Fishing” added to it, then it successfully displayed all of the other pages and articles in the sidebar that also had the term “Fishing” as a taxonomy tag.

However, then I loaded an Article that didn’t have ANY taxonomy tags added to it. I expected to see NOTHING in the sidebar. However, I still saw the same results as the other Article. All Pages/Articles with the “Fishing” taxonomy tag added to them were displayed. This is not desirable. If the displayed Article doesn’t have any tags added to it, then it should not be displaying any related Pages/Articles.

Am I missing something?

Also, your before_html and after_html attributes don’t seem to work.

Kinda frustrated at this point.

Does it possibly have something to do with the new WP widget caching?

Is there a way I can limit the maximum number of posts? I mean the total number of posts displayed.

Is there a way to add post date and category to be seen with the post thumb and title?

I realized that plugin duplicate installation in control panel. When i try to uninstall one of this, both are uninstalled. Someone knows why did it happens?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/super-simple-related-posts/

I was very happy until I realized there are posts being displayed 2 or 3 times. For each similar tag, the plugin displays it once more. I’m worried about it.
Help?

Mickey –?Im liking your plugin quite a bit. I just noticed that your git repo this gone a bit stale. Are you versioning this publicly elsewhere? Perhaps not a common request, but I’d probably fork the project if I needed to make any changes, and send PR if it seemed appropriate.

I have a custom image size defined that I want to use in the related posts. Is this possible?

Hiya,
This looks to be a useful plugin – Thank you.

Please see the site: <p>Total Business Training Blog</p>

I have tried maniuplating the shortcode for over a day now trying to get the following configuration:

Show Related Posts (3 options)
Show Related Pages (3 options)
Show Related Products (3 options)

(They are all held together ie the common factor is the category that they are indexed in.)

May I please ask what kind of shortcode would produce this kind of result?

As always, Many Thanks for your plugin and also for any kind support!
Cheers
TelB

Returns duplicate results for custom taxonomies.

Hi, I’d like to be able to set the featured image size so that extremely large images aren’t loaded into the page’s sidebar.

I tried doing it with this code:

function gc_ssrp_thumbnail_modifications( $post_title, $post_id ) {
    return get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 'medium' ) . $post_title;
}
add_filter( 'ssrp_post_title', 'gc_ssrp_thumbnail_modifications' );

But got an error saying that I was missing argument 2 ($post_id). Any ideas why $post_id would not be accessible from this filter?

Regardless, if there was an option to select the image size used for the Featured Image, then I wouldn’t need to access the code. Thanks, this is a great little plugin.

I am getting double posts in the sidebar. It also just displays the last posts in order. So they are actually triple.

Double posts should have been fixed in a previous version i read somewhere (1.1) It would also be nice if it would never show a duplicate post. So posts that are on the page itself should never be displayed.

Please advise, kind regards,

Julius

I would like to have the “related posts” to open in a new page. How would I go about doing this?

Thank you in advance.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/super-simple-related-posts/

Thanks for the plugin!

I’m having somewhat an issue with the number of related posts displayed.
Even when setting up the number of posts displayed through the widget (e.g. 5), it shows way more than that.

My suspicion is that if a post or page has more than 1 shared category, it puts out x number of posts PER shared category. So if a post has 4 categories, it’s possible that I end up with 20.

Is my suspicion correct and if so, how to fix it?

For example, see here: https://natural-fertility-info.com/castor-oil-therapy

Nothing shows up when using the shortcode with a custom post type. At all.

Hello!
In our site we created taxonomy “tipologia” e.g. materassi.
Materassi is taxonomy parent, then we have taxonomy sons e.g. materassi memory, materassi gel, materassi molle.
From wordpress backend I fixed 3 related posts to show for each item, but the result I obtain is 6= 3 of taxonomy parent and 3 of taxonomy son.
I’d like relation with only 3 of taxonomy son, how can I solve this problem?
Thank You, bye bye

The plugin is outputting multiple lists usually with the same posts in each list. I’d like it if it only outputted one list with only unique posts in it.

Hi: This widget was working perfectly for weeks. We had two instances appearing in the sidebar of our posts on our dev site. Today, it no longer executes (meaning the widget doesn’t display, even when set to show No posts) and we have no idea what could be going wrong. Any ideas of what to look into to see where the problem may be?

We did deactivate the options_framework plugin but that doesn’t seem like it should affect the SSRP functioning.

Hi Mickey,

first, thanks again for adding the function to include a thumbnail! My question is two-fold:

1. What markup is generated for the list of related posts? Is it an h4 for title, such as CategoryName, and then a ul with li items? I ask because we need to visually separate each list of posts by category or taxonomy, and if everything is in an li only, that will be a challenge.

2. We want to show separate lists of posts by Taxonomy 1, Taxonomy 2, and then posts by Category A. How can we do that? Can we add the widget 2 separate times?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/super-simple-related-posts/

Sorry for duplicate post, but wondering if there is a way to modify the widget php to show the post thumbnail along with the title and url?

This looks like a great tool but for our needs, we have to have thumbnails.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/super-simple-related-posts/

Just curious, this looks like the perfect solution for a project I am working on, but I wonder how this works if you choose the related to be using tags, and the post has more than one tag. How are the related posts “selected” and displayed? E.g., does the display list a tag slug and related posts, another tag slug and related, etc?

TIA

It will be great if you can make it WPML compatible… or at least the widget to be convertable to multilanguage.

Hint: I don’t believe there is any other WPML-compatible related posts plugin.

If the post has more than one categories, it will display relatived posts by each category.

Could you add a option that can display one group of relatived posts with all same categories?

Also, it is nice to have a exclude categories function.

Hi,

Great plugin, but I’ve got two issues:

1. When trying to activate the plugin it gives an error. So I added a bracket } at the end of your code and it seemed to work.

2. It displays my related posts twice in the sidebar for some reason… ?

Hi there,

Thanks for having a look at my plugin. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!
