help with custom-taxonomy-related-posts-query

  • Hello,
    I’m pulling out a thread closed almost 1 year ago.
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-related-posts-query?replies=28
    I’m trying to show related posts by a custom taxonomy. I adapted some of the codes published by the members and managed to make it work, apart from ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’.

    This is the code:

    <?php
global $post;
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'cliente', 'string');
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;

if(!empty($terms)){
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
        query_posts( array(
        'cliente' => $term->slug,
        'showposts' => 5,
        'caller_get_posts' => 1,
		'orderby' => 'rand',
        'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate ) );
        if(have_posts()){
            while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?>

            <li class="articlecontextual">
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
            <?php the_ID(); ?>"
                <h2><a href="<? the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

            </li>
            <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query();
        }
    }
}
?>

    Please anyone can help me to understand what missing or wrong?
    Thank you!

    I Solved it. Maybe it is not perfect but it seems to work fine.
    After
    global $post;
    I added
    remove_all_filters(‘posts_orderby’);
    and that’s all, maybe it could be helpful to someone else…

    try this, use tag taxonomy called album_tag on my theme, you can changet to your taxonomy to be show….

    <?php $orig_post = $post;
global $post;
if ( 'YOUR_POSTTYPE' == get_post_type() ) {
$tags = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'YOUR_TAXONOMY');
if ($tags) {
	$tag_ids = array();

	foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
	$args=array(
		'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy'  => 'YOUR_TAXONOMY',
            'terms'     => $tag_ids,
            'operator'  => 'IN'
        )
    ),
    'post__not_in'          => array( $post->ID ),
    'posts_per_page'        => 3,
    'ignore_sticky_posts'   => 1
	);
	$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
		<div class="related">
			<h2><?php esc_html_e('Related Products','eStore'); ?></h2>
			<ul class="related-items clearfix">
				<?php $i=1; while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
				$my_query->the_post(); ?>

					<li<?php if($i%2==0) echo(' class="second"'); ?>>
						<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="clearfix">

							<span><?php the_title(); ?></span>
						</a>
					</li>
					<?php $i++; ?>
				<?php } ?>
			</ul>
		</div>
	<?php }
}
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query(); ?>
