Related Posts by Custom Taxonomy

Assume your taxonomy is called “genre”, didn’t test this but try:

change this

$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

to

$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'none');
$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , 'genre', $tax_args);

and change

'tag__in' => $tagIDs,

to

'genre__in' => $tagIDs,

This is weird. I’ve made the changes and the only pages that get related content pulled out are those that actually have been tagged in my ‘series’ taxonomy (the one you called genre). BUT, the links comes from all posts whether they have been tagged or not.

Well I’m getting the same ‘problem’. Not sure if it’s a bug or my logic so still researching…

I really appreciate you taking your time with this!

Well ‘genre__in’ doesn’t work. I thought it did based on https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/9951 but I doesn’t so will have to be something like:

<?php
//for in the loop, display all "content", regardless of post_type,
//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
$backup = $post;  // backup the current object
$found_none = '<h2>No related posts found!</h2>';
$taxonomy = 'genre';//  e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
$param_type = 'genre'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
$post_types = get_post_types( array('public' => true), 'names' );
$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'none');
$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
if ($tags) {
  foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    $args=array(
      "$param_type" => $tag->slug,
      'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
      'post_type' => $post_types,
      'showposts'=>-1,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
        <?php $found_none = '';
      endwhile;
    }
  }
}
if ($found_none) {
echo $found_none;
}
$post = $backup;  // copy it back
wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again
?>

Note I left the $backup thing though I’m not sure it is needed

This worked great. Thanks so much for your help!

Hmm…I’m trying this, and it kind of works. The original post however gets duplicated multiple times in the related posts section. Even if I limit it to only display 1 post. Any idea’s what could cause this?

For those who had problens like dinho, try this:

Where is

"$param_type" => $tag->slug,

change to:

$param_type => $tag->slug,

Cannot get this working… First of all, it lists the results two times. Second, it lists all posts with the right post-type, with no connection between tags (custom taxonomy)…

If it’s to any help, the code looks like this;

<?php
//for in the loop, display all “content”, regardless of post_type,
//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
$found_none = ‘<h2>No related posts found!</h2>’;
$taxonomy = ‘persona’;// e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
$param_type = ‘persona’; // e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
$tax_args=array(‘orderby’ => ‘date’);
$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
if ($tags) {
foreach ($tags as $tag) {

$args=array(
$param_type => $tag->slug,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘post_type’ => ‘live’,
‘showposts’=> 4,
‘caller_get_posts’=> 1
);

$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h3>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php $found_none = ”;
endwhile;
}
}
}
wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again
?>

Sorry,

<?php
		//for in the loop, display all "content", regardless of post_type,
		//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
		$found_none = '<h2>No related posts found!</h2>';
		$taxonomy = 'persona';//  e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
		$param_type = 'persona'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
		$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'date');
		$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
			if ($tags) {
				foreach ($tags as $tag) {

    			$args=array(
    			$param_type => $tag->slug,
    			'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
    			'post_type' => 'live',
    			'showposts'=> 4,
    			'caller_get_posts'=> 1
    			);

    		$my_query = null;
    		$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    		if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    		while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    		<?php $found_none = '';
    		endwhile;
    		}
    	}
    }
    wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again
    ?>

This worked great for me to, but then I try to make a shortcode that didn’t work anymore.

I put this code in my theme folder into function.custom.php, and call it in the post with shortcode [relatedseries] like this

function series_related() {
	return show_related_here();
}
add_shortcode('relatedseries', 'series_related');

function show_related_here() {

//for in the loop, display all "content", regardless of post_type,
//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
$backup = $post;  // backup the current object
$found_none = 'No related posts found!';
$taxonomy = 'seria';//  e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
$param_type = 'seria'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
$post_types = get_post_types( array('public' => true), 'names' );
$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'none');
$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
if ($tags) {
  foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    $args=array(
      "$param_type" => $tag->slug,
      'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
      'post_type' => $post_types,
      'showposts'=>-1,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<ol>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<li> test </li>
</ol>
        <?php $found_none = '';
      endwhile;
    }
  }
}
if ($found_none) {
echo $found_none;
}
$post = $backup;  // copy it back
wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again

}

What did I do wrong!?

Hi,

I am using below code to display particular posts based on custom taxonnomy.

<?php
		//for in the loop, display all "content", regardless of post_type,
		//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
		$found_none = '<h2>No related posts found!</h2>';
		$taxonomy = 'persona';//  e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
		$param_type = 'persona'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
		$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'date');
		$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
			if ($tags) {
				foreach ($tags as $tag) {

    			$args=array(
    			$param_type => $tag->slug,
    			'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
    			'post_type' => 'live',
    			'showposts'=> 4,
    			'caller_get_posts'=> 1
    			);

    		$my_query = null;
    		$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    		if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
    		while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    		<?php $found_none = '';
    		endwhile;
    		}
    	}
    }
    wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again
    ?>

But i have one problem.
I have hierarchy structure for categories.
e.g main category-> sub category1->subcategory2
i have posts in each subcategory lets suppose one in sub category1 and one in subcategory2
But the problem is that when i click on main category it only displays one post but in fact there are two posts under it.
when i click on sub category the posts displays fine.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

This is what I’m using and it retrieves the posts great. The only problem is that it retrieves up to 3 related posts PER term, not 3 total. Any ideas how to achieve this?

<?php
global $post;
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'badge', 'string');
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
$postnum = 0;

if(!empty($terms)){
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
        query_posts( array(
        'badge' => $term->slug,
        'showposts' => 3,
        'caller_get_posts' => 1,
        'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate ) );
        if(have_posts()){ ?>

            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?>
		<?php $postnum++; ?>
	<div class="single-small-posts-<?php echo $postnum; ?>">
      			<?php
			$clipping_image = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'clipping_image', true );
			$terms_of_post = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'type', '','', '', '' );?>

			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title();?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $clipping_image ?>&h=140&w=140&zc=1"></a>
				<p class="single-small-post-cat"><?php if( $terms_of_post ) echo $terms_of_post; ?></p><p class="single-small-post-number">#<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'incr_number',true); ?></p>

		</div>
        		<?php $found_none = '';
     			endwhile; wp_reset_query();
?>

    <?php }
  }
}
if ($found_none) {
echo $found_none;
}
$post = $backup;  // copy it back
wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again
?>

I know this has been closed, but it seems that some people still have problem with duplicating items.
I use this codes and it works fine for me (milage may differ?)
I modify a little from Theme “Jenny” (thanks to the author).

# Sorry, I made a mistake in the codes I copied, so I delete the code until I resolve it.

the solution from MichaelH worked very well!

thanks!
