Hey Everyone.
I am hoping this is the right place to ask this question.
I am using a new WordPress theme and it has native related post coding in it. The problem is the code uses Post Tags as the selection value instead of Post Category. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this strip of code. I want to change it so the theme gets Posts in the same Category, instead of Posts with the same Tags.
* Display related posts.
*
* @return void
*/
function stag_related_posts() {
global $post;
if( stag_rcp_user_has_no_access() )
return;
if( ! stag_theme_mod( 'post_settings', 'show_related_posts' ) )
return;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags( $post->ID );
if ( count( $tags ) ) {
$tags_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) {
$tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
}
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'tag__in' => $tags_ids,
'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ),
'posts_per_page' => absint( stag_theme_mod( 'post_settings', 'related_posts_count' ) ),
'caller_get_posts' => 1
) );
// Add filter to attach 'post-grid' class
add_filter( 'stag_showing_related_posts', '__return_true' );
if( $query->have_posts() ) :
echo '<section class="related-posts" data-layout="2-2-2-2">';
while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
echo '</section>';
endif;
}
wp_reset_query();
remove_all_filters( 'stag_showing_related_posts' );
}
I've tried simply replaces the words Tags with Categories, but it doesn't seem to do much.
Any help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated.
