Hi Michael –

Thank you VERY much for spending so much time looking into this. I really appreciate it.

One last question: This whole issue arises from my using a special category of posts as “include files” on some static pages. If I created a custom post type (in the WordPress sense) called something other than “Posts”, would YARPP ignore those? I could use a plugin that can display custom post types in order to display them on the static pages, if that would prevent YARPP from responding to them.

Any more progress on this problem?

Hi –

I followed the steps in your message above, and I can reproduce the problem. The difference is that I use this set of arguments with the shortcode:

[display-posts tag="home_page" include_content="true" ]

and it produces the result you can see with the YARPP output, at:

So, it appears that the problem may arise when I use the include_content=”true” argument with that shortcode.

Does that help you narrow down what could be causing the problem?

Thanks! I really appreciate all the time you are taking to look into this.

Best regards,
Tim

“”Some CSS like the following should help:

ul.display-posts-listing li { list-style-type: none; }”

That didn’t work. However, I accidentally discovered that

wrapper=”div”

does what I wanted. I wouldn’t have guessed that “wrapper” would mean “list type”.

“My guess is that YARPP is being tricked into thinking that it’s at the end of a post, not the end of a page, because of the “get posts” shortcode you’re running to load some other posts. If you turn off that shortcode, do they go away? “

Yes, they do.

“Also, are the related posts listed related to your homepage content or to the post(s) that’s pulled in by that shortcode?”

It’s a little hard to be sure, but I believe that they’re related to the post that is pulled in by the get_posts shortcode. By the way, I have actually replaced the get_posts shortcode plugin with a different plugin called “Display Posts Shortcode” plugin, and YARPP still pulls in the same related posts.

Here’s a relevant question: I’m using these posts as “include files” if you understand what I mean. If I created a custom post type for them, called “includes”, instead of just creating them as regular WP Posts, would that trick YARPP into ignoring them?

“make sure the “automatic display” setting has “pages” turned off.”

Yes, it is. This is really weird.

Any other ideas? I had disabled YARPP after I didn’t receive a reply to my post after a day or two, but now I’ve re-enabled it so that you can see the effect that it has on my home page at https://www.TrustworthyCare.com

Thanks,

Never mind. I think this was due to an error on my part. I’ll repost here if it turns out that I’m wrong about it being my error.
