I did also have Tako Movable Comments installed on my website. So that might be true.

WOW! I thought it’s only me having this problem.
I would never guess wpdiscuz caused it.
I don’t have any idea how to restore my data without losing the newer ones. I only have a full backup of my site.

changing the storage Engine to MyISAM has worked for me!

– I’ve also tried deactivating all my plugins and using “twenty seventeen” as theme.
– Even taxonomy=”category” has no effect.

one same word in title shouldn’t do any good finding related posts. it is more troublesome than helpful. however it may depend on your way of blogging.

you can add related post IDs now (in the new Update) if you think two posts should definitely be related to each other, at the end of each post editor.

Something I rather suggest is to check for internal links in posts and choose them as related posts, no matter what. because everyone, for the sake of SEO, does this internal link related articles in his blogging. I as well use this “Read more HERE” thing a lot and i wish it was considered.

suppose i am reviewing a game and I would write “wow this game reminds me of A and B.” and I hyperlink them, but then because they are not in the same category or tags they are not shown in the related posts. One would say “you should have done a better job with the category and tagging system”, but they cant be in a same category nor tag. they just feel the same.

I was hoping the 2.20 update is going to solve the compatibility issue with WPTouch. but i have the same old problem.

thanks, i will do that and let you know.

but i already tried these.

Thank you!

I had the same problem (permission thing). the folder wasnt created so i created it manually and it was fixed.

cool! thanks.

good luck.

currently i deleted the wptouch plugin to be able to use the related posts.
no, its online.

this is what happens when wptouch is on: screenshot

each thumbnail holds its ratio and non cropped, only resized through css max-width and max-height.

this is the code:

<div id="crp_related" class="crp_related"><ul><li><a href="/castle-crashers/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/castlecrashers.jpg" alt="Castle Crashers" title="Castle Crashers" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/castle-crashers/" class="crp_title">Castle Crashers</a></li><li><a href="/skiranger/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/4WmVr.jpg" alt="SkiRanger" title="SkiRanger" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="skiranger/" class="crp_title">SkiRanger</a></li><li><a href="/unreal-tournament-3/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/n1O3T-150x85.jpg" alt="Unreal Tournament 3" title="Unreal Tournament 3" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/unreal-tournament-3/" class="crp_title">Unreal Tournament 3</a></li><li><a href="/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/steamworkshop_webupload_previewfile_200278901_preview.jpg" alt="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/" class="crp_title">Teenage Mutant Ninja</a></li><li><a href="/real-boxing/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Real-Boxing-Hack-2.2a-screen.jpg" alt="Real Boxing" title="Real Boxing" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/real-boxing/" class="crp_title">Real Boxing</a></li><li><a href="/guacamelee/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/EX9Y.jpg" alt="Guacamelee" title="Guacamelee" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/guacamelee/" class="crp_title">Guacamelee</a></li></ul><div class="crp_clear"></div></div></div>
</div>

I deleted my web address though.

and this is the same piece of code when wptouch disabled:

<div id="crp_related" class="crp_related"><ul><li><a href="/castle-crashers/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/castlecrashers-174x100.jpg" alt="Castle Crashers" title="Castle Crashers" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/castle-crashers/" class="crp_title">Castle Crashers</a></li><li><a href="/skiranger/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/4WmVr-174x100.jpg" alt="SkiRanger" title="SkiRanger" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="skiranger/" class="crp_title">SkiRanger</a></li><li><a href="/unreal-tournament-3/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/n1O3T-174x100.jpg" alt="Unreal Tournament 3" title="Unreal Tournament 3" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/unreal-tournament-3/" class="crp_title">Unreal Tournament 3</a></li><li><a href="/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/steamworkshop_webupload_previewfile_200278901_preview.jpg" alt="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/" class="crp_title">Teenage Mutant Ninja</a></li><li><a href="/real-boxing/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Real-Boxing-Hack-2.2a-screen-174x100.jpg" alt="Real Boxing" title="Real Boxing" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/real-boxing/" class="crp_title">Real Boxing</a></li><li><a href="/guacamelee/"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/EX9Y-174x100.jpg" alt="Guacamelee" title="Guacamelee" style="max-width:174px;max-height:100px;" class="crp_thumb crp_featured"/></a><a href="/guacamelee/" class="crp_title">Guacamelee</a></li></ul><div class="crp_clear"></div></div></div>
</div>

there is a file named related-posts.php in wptouch folder. the full content is:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'wptouch_related_posts' ) ) { ?>
	<?php if ( wptouch_has_related_posts() ) { ?>
		<div class="related-posts">
			<h3><?php _e( 'Related', 'wptouch-pro' ); ?></h3>
			<ul class="related">
				<?php $related_posts = wptouch_related_posts(); ?>
				<?php foreach( $related_posts as $related_post ) { ?>
				<li class="<?php if ( $related_post->thumbnail != '' ) echo 'has-thumb'; ?><?php if ( $related_post->excerpt == '' ) { echo ' no-excerpt'; } ?>">
					<?php
						if ( $related_post->thumbnail != '' ) {
							echo $related_post->thumbnail;
						} else {
					?>
							<div class="date-circle">
								<span class="month"><?php echo $related_post->month; ?></span>
								<span class="day"><?php echo $related_post->day; ?></span>
							</div>
					<?php
						}
					?>
					<strong><a href="<?php echo $related_post->link; ?>"><?php echo $related_post->title; ?></a></strong>
					<p><?php echo $related_post->excerpt; ?></p>
				</li>
				<?php } ?>
			</ul>
		</div>
	<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

so i found where the problem came from. it this plugin i had WPTouch which is used for generating a mobile friendly version from a wordpress sites.

there is definitly something wrong with my plugins. I just deactivated all of them but “related posts” to see if anything changes and YES.

now i should workaroud to see which plugin was the trouble maker.

sorry hadn’t seen it. but even that didn’t help.
I did replace the piece of code you gave if that was all i had to do.
Im not going to regenerate new thumbnails to use custom size if that is what i have to, i already have too many different sizes.

i made a screenshot.
