Help With Implementation

Hello,

I installed your plugin with the hopes that I could use the “Load More” function into an existing template that I have but I have not been able to executed it properly.

I already have a template called related.php which calls related category posts to every single post on the site. The template recognizes the category of each posts.

I wanted to add a “Load More” button at the end of the template to load the next round of related posts by category, but everything I have tried does not work, produces PHP errors or comes out in a garbage format.

The template I have works great, again all I want is to be able to insert a working code at the end of it that will allow your plugin to display a working “Load More” button that will display another batch of related posts when you click on it.

I hope you can help.

Here is a sample of the template code:

<div class="relatedpost-container" role="navigation">
<h2 class="relatedpoststitle"><?php printf( __('You are going to love these:', 'theme-nacho')) ?></h2> 				

<?php
//function to get related post having codition inside
function get_related_post($postID){
		
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($postID);
$foundPosts = 0;
$excludes=[$postID];
			
if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
			
$args=array(
'tag__in' => $tag_ids,
'post__not_in' => array($postID),
'showposts'=>12,
'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1
);
			
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
$foundPosts = $my_query->found_posts;
			
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$excludes[]=$my_query->post->ID; 
					
get_template_part( 'loop', get_post_format() ); 
						 
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();}
			
if ($foundPosts <12){
$remainingPosts = 12- $foundPosts;
get_category_posts($postID, $remainingPosts, $excludes);
}
			
}

function get_category_posts($postID, $remainingPosts, $excludes){

$catArgs = array(
'category__in' =>  wp_get_post_categories($postID), 
'showposts' => $remainingPosts,
'post__not_in' => $excludes
);
										
$cat_post_query = new WP_Query($catArgs);
$foundPosts = $cat_post_query->found_posts;
			
if( $cat_post_query->have_posts() ) {
					
while ($cat_post_query->have_posts()) : $cat_post_query->the_post();
$excludes[]=$cat_post_query->post->ID; 
						
get_template_part( 'loop', get_post_format() ); 
							 
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();

if ($foundPosts < $remainingPosts){
$stillRemaing = $remainingPosts-$foundPosts;
				
get_latest_posts($excludes, $stillRemaing);}
 }

function get_latest_posts($excludes, $stillRemaing){
	
$latestPost = array(
	'showposts' => $stillRemaing,
	'post__not_in' => $excludes,
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'posts_per_page' => $stillRemaing,
	'offset'=>0,
	'orderby' => 'post_date',
	'order' => 'DESC',
	);
$latest_post_query = new WP_Query($latestPost);
		
if( $latest_post_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($latest_post_query->have_posts()) : $latest_post_query->the_post(); 
					
get_template_part( 'loop', get_post_format() ); 
						  
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();
	}

echo get_related_post($post->ID); ?>
 
</div>
