    Hello, I created a custom single page that’s working perfectly and now I’ve decided to display related posts with a custom loop:

    $args = array(
'post_type' => 'advert',
'posts_per_page' => 8,
'menu_order' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'order'    => 'ASC');

    So as you can see they are random featured posts, but they must be in the same category or categories of the current ad. What arguments should I add?

    Thank you

    Hi,
    are you using the Related Ads snippet (https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/related-ads/related-ads.php) to show the related Ads?

    If so then in order to show related Ads by category you would need to change the line

    
$args["s"] = $post->post_title;

    to

    
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'advert_category' );
$terms_list = array();
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
    $terms_list[] = $term->term_id;
}
$args['tax_query'] = array(
    array(
        'taxonomy' => 'advert_category',
        'field'    => 'term_id',
        'terms'    => $terms_list,
    ),
);

    No, I have been using a completely different single page created from scratch, but those arguments were what I needed to get it working in my custom loop. Thank you!
