Vill du visa en lista över relaterade inlägg på din WordPress-webbplats och föredrar att använda kod snarare än ett plugin?
På WPBeginner betonar vi ofta vikten av att engagera din publik och få dem att utforska ditt innehåll. En effektiv strategi som vi har sett användas på otaliga framgångsrika WordPress-webbplatser är att visa relaterade inlägg.
När besökarna på din blogg har läst klart en artikel som de är intresserade av kan du erbjuda en lista med relaterade inlägg som håller dem engagerade och hjälper dem att hitta nytt innehåll att läsa.
I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa you hur du visar relaterade inlägg med WordPress med hjälp av kod, utan något plugin obligatoriskt.
Varför visa Relaterade inlägg i WordPress?
När din WordPress blogg börjar växa kan det bli svårare för användarna att hitta andra posts i samma ämne.
Att displaya en lista med relaterat content i slutet av varje blogginlägg är ett bra sätt att hålla kvar dina besökare på din website och öka antalet sidvisningar. Det bidrar också till att förbättra synligheten för dina viktigaste pages genom att ditt bästa content visas där folk lätt kan hitta det.
Om du ej är bekant med kod kommer du att tycka att det är enklare att välja ett av de många tillägg för relaterade inlägg i WordPress som kan visa relaterade inlägg utan kod.
Men om du någonsin har undrat om du kan visa relaterade inlägg utan att använda ett plugin, kommer vi att dela två olika algoritmer som du kan använda för att generera relaterade inlägg med inläggsminiatyrer med enbart kod:
Obs/observera: Om du vill visa en thumbnail med varje relaterat inlägg, se till att du först lägger till en featured image till dessa inlägg.
Metod 1: Hur man visar Relaterade inlägg i WordPress med Tags
Ett effektivt sätt att hitta relaterat content är att leta efter andra posts som delar samma taggar. Tags används ofta för att fokusera på de specifika detaljer som finns i ett post.
Med det i åtanke kanske du vill gå vidare och add to några gemensamma taggar till de posts du vill relatera till varandra. Du kan enter dem i ”Tags”-boxen i WordPress editor.
Följ efter att du har lagt till taggar till dina posts, nästa sak att göra är att add to följande code snippet till ditt temas single.php
mall.
Om du behöver hjälp med att lägga till kod på din site kan du läsa vår guide om hur du klistrar in snippets från webben i WordPress.
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
$args=array(
'tag__in' => $tag_ids,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page'=>5, // Number of related posts that will be shown.
'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = new wp_query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<div id="relatedposts"><h3>Related Posts</h3><ul>';
while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><div class="relatedthumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><!--?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?--></a></div>
<div class="relatedcontent">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><!--?php the_title(); ?--></a></h3>
<!--?php the_time('M j, Y') ?-->
</div>
</li>
<!--?php }
echo '</ul--></ul></div>';
}
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
Den här koden letar efter taggar som är associerade med en page och runar sedan en sökning i en database för att hämta pages med liknande tags.
Var ska du placera koden? Det beror på ditt theme, men i de flesta fall bör du kunna klistra in koden i ditt temas single.php template efter huvudinlägget och precis ovanför avsnittet med kommentarer.
Om du använder temat Twenty Twenty-One som vi gör på vår demo-site, är ett bra ställe att klistra in koden i filen template-parts/content/content-single.php
efter headern och precis efter <?php the_content();
.
Detta kommer automatiskt att visa relaterat content på alla WordPress-poster. Du måste ändra styling och appearance för dina relaterade inlägg för att matcha ditt tema genom att lägga till custom CSS.
Tips: Istället för att editera dina theme-filer, vilket kan förstöra din website, rekommenderar vi att du använder ett code snippets plugin som WPCode.
WPCode gör det säkert och enkelt att add to custom kod i WordPress. Dessutom kommer det med ”Insertion” alternativ som låter dig automatiskt insert och exekvera snippets på specifika locations på din WordPress site, till exempel efter en post.
För mer detaljer, se vår guide om hur du lägger till custom code i WordPress. Du kan också kontrollera vår detaljerade WPCode-review för att lära dig mer om pluginet.
Metod 2: Hur man visar Relaterade inlägg i WordPress efter Category
Ett annat sätt att displayed relaterat content är att lista posts som är i samma kategori. Fördelen med den här metoden är att listan över Relaterade inlägg nästan aldrig kommer att vara tom.
Likes Method 1, you need to add a code snippet to your theme’s single.php template or in a code snippets plugin like WPCode. För mer detaljer, se Metod 1 och vår guide om hur du lägger till customize-kod i WordPress.
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
if ($categories) {
$category_ids = array();
foreach($categories as $individual_category) $category_ids[] = $individual_category->term_id;
$args=array(
'category__in' => $category_ids,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page'=> 2, // Number of related posts that will be shown.
'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = new wp_query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<div id="related_posts"><h3>Related Posts</h3><ul>';
while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();?>
<li><div class="relatedthumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><!--?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?--></a></div>
<div class="relatedcontent">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><!--?php the_title(); ?--></a></h3>
<!--?php the_time('M j, Y') ?-->
</div>
</li>
<!--?php }
echo '</ul--></ul></div>';
}
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
Nu kommer du att se en lista med relaterat innehåll längst ner i varje post.
Om du vill ändra styling och appearance på dina related pages måste du add to custom CSS för att matcha ditt theme.

amazing post ,, thanks

It is good to show related post in wordpress blog without plugiN. iIt will consume less bandwidth and time to load. http://shareitto.com Thanks for your suggestion.
zioneyemedia
I do have a question on this: I’m wrestling on the code to capture posts from child categories versus parent categories. Any advice?
AmandaLong
This rocks … Thanks!
dustinporchia
I’m trying to use the related posts by category and I noticed that you said the code has to come before the comments in the main loop. In my code I want the related posts to come after the comments in the loop. When I do this I notice my disqus comment plugin takes longer to load now. Is that because of an error with the comments or is that normal?
dustinporchia
Nevermind…I just switched to livefyre as this is more of what I’m looking for in a comment system anyways…thanks!
subzerokh
please
could someone help a newbie like me customize this script so it’ll display related post in an horizontal way?
from left to right..
instead of currently showing it from up to down, vertically…
zioneyemedia
Hey,
How I did it is I replaced the and codes with my own html and css. The codes create lists for each post, and that is usually in a vertical fashion.
——————
<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=””> <a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=””>
——————
I replaced the opening with and replaced the closing with as my html tags. Then I write my CSS to fit that specific div class needs on your website. For example, a sample pleft class could look like this:
.pleft {float:left; padding:2px; margin:10px; width:278px; height:190px;}
I use the float: selector on my CSS to move posts horizontally, and the margins and padding to give each post spacing within each other. I added in a specific width and height for additional examples.
Hope this helps.
Simos
@zioneyemedia thank you!
gcog
I’ve got related tags for sure, but when I add the code I see nothing. Also, when I add your code to restrict to a custom post type, it gives me an error. I did change the post type to my specific post type.
subzerokh
@wpbeginner hello
thanks for your quick answer…
but i’m a real novice at all you are saying..
can you please give a litlle exemple?
for making them horizontal as on your own blog?
can get in touch by my mail: khiloc at gmail dot com
wpbeginner
@subzerokh You would have to edit the styling. It is not that hard. Simply wrap each post in a div. Specify a width for that div and then set a float left property. Adjust the margins and such and you have it.
subzerokh
hello all!! thanks for this wonderfull script!!
It’s the only thing i found doing exactly what i wanted!!!
But it’s just showing related post in vertical way (from up to down)
I would like it to be shown from left to right (horizontally)
How to do that please??

Can I have a CSS For this please

The CSS we used was for a client’s site. You can add your own CSS on how you want to display this.

Thanks..im searching for this kinda Code
jaffa
This is great, just what I have been looking for. I wonder though, how could I combine the two above and if there are no tags then it displays posts from the same category?
Trying to figure this out but not getting very far yet
nikbanks
Thanks for the code it worked but how do I style it. I’d like it to be 4 stories side by side like yours. It is listed one on top of another on my site and not listed like yours.
Editorial Staff
That is CSS. We are not using this code to show related stories. Second, i believe what you are talking about is featured stories on our sidebar. We have written another post about that in our site.
Administratör
Coolguy
is ther a way to dispay the thumbs in related post without using featured images or post thumbs??
i.e to use any image used in the post …
Editorial Staff
Yes, you can utilize the fallback techniques shared by other developers which pulls the first image from the post. But we recommend using the WordPress post thumbnails…
Administratör

Hi, is there a way to exclude categories? I have two main categories where all the categories get assigned to. The main categories have sub-categories and I would like to show just related posts from the sub-categories.
Is this possible, by excluding the id’s of the main categories?
Thanks for your advice!
BTW…love the code…and it works great!!!
Editorial Staff
You should be able to use category not in <<

I was searching for related post with thumbnails plugins but the code that you paste above, solve my problem.
John
Just one question, is there a way to only pull tags from the same post type? Maybe using something like ’post_type=videos’?
John
By the way, got this figured out as well:
Just add it to the array:
$args=array(
’category__in’ => $category_ids,
’post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
’posts_per_page’=> 2, // Number of related posts that will be shown.
’caller_get_posts’=>1,
’post_type’=>’videos’
);

Hi,
Thank you for this tutorial. I’m wondering though if there’s anyway the related products can be randomized? I’ve checked different products in the same category and the same related products were shown.
Thanks
Editorial Staff
Yes use the Query_Post parameter for order and you can randomize it.
Administratör
Clarence Johnson
Good to know.
phdean
Hi,
I too would like to randomize the posts that display for the categories as, otherwise, they’ll display the same 2 every time. Can you please give me the code to do this?
Many thanks in advance
John
Nevermind, I got it figured out. Thanks for the post!
Editorial Staff
what was the issue?
Administratör
John
I didn’t have any other posts with the same tags, i.e. no related posts. Dummy mistake.
John
I copied this code and put it in my single.php without changing a thing and nothing gets outputted. Anything wrong with my code? pastebin.com/kg0SkrAg
James
This doesn’t bring up a thumbnail — there isn’t even a call for an image int eh code. I don’t see how anyone can get this to work.
Editorial Staff
The code for the image is: the_post_thumbnail(); << This is not static html where you will see img src code. The function calls in the database to search for a featured image aka thumbnail that is attached to each article. If found, it will output the image. Now if you do not have post thumbnails enabled in your theme, then you need to add it first:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/
The article clearly stated that in the Note: section. You should consider reading it thoroughly.

hey man, I love your blog!

Can you do the same trick but ” BY Author” ?
showing the latest posts by author?
you will save my life
Btw thanks for this website!

Yes we will que the article soon

yessss, thanks…
It will be a great article.
bacause ”latest posts by author without plugin” is hard to find on internet.
you are the best.
Quinn
Thanks for this code! I’ve given it a try and it works somewhat.
I can get it to give a listing of the related articles, a huge benefit.
But I can’t seem to get any images to show up.
The articles have images if this code scrapes.
I also went in and created images for each post with the custom tag ”relatedthumb”. But alas, still no images.
Is there something else I need to do?
Many thanks in advance!
Quinn
Editorial Staff
This trick is using the default WordPress thumbnails which was added in WP 2.9. If you have an image attached as that thumbnail, then it will pull it.

Thanks!

ok i got it to work, is there anyway to put a default pic if a thumbnail is unavailable
Editorial Staff
Yes, you can use the if paramter to check if there are plugins… if not then you can display a default image.
Administratör
rulethenation
how would i go about doing that? im a php noob lol
Quickbrown
In order to use default images when no post thumbnail available, replace with <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) {the_post_thumbnail()} else {echo '’;} ?>
Then put a default-image.jpg under your themes’ image folder.

i cant get this to work, it just messes up my whole layout near the comments, am i missing something? i had to take it off my site

Thanks for sharing. I’m using this code for a while now but it has a problem: when adding tags to a post, WP sorts them alphabetically regardless of the priority I added them. So this code displays related posts matching the first tag only which are less relevant sometimes.
Maybe you have an idea how to prevent this auto sorting of tags by WordPress or any other solution?
Editorial Staff
It is not using the first tag. This code is using all tags from the posts to find related posts.
Administratör
Clarence Johnson
I’m experiencing the same issue too.
Doug C.
All that first code did was put two instances of the same post on the page. It didn’t show any related anything.
Editorial Staff
Doug please contact us using the form with a live link example, and we can help. We know this code is working because a few of our client’s site is using it.
