Vill du visa en lista över relaterade inlägg på din WordPress website och föredrar att använda kod snarare än ett plugin?
När besökarna på din blogg har slutfört att läsa en artikel som de är intresserade av, kommer en lista med relaterade inlägg att hålla dem engagerade och hjälpa dem att hitta new content 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.

Hi,
I have a ’Related post’ option from my wordpress theme and i am already using it. I have displayed 6 posts after the content. The problem is, it only shows 3 related posts and next three can be seen when you slide it horizontally. I don’t want that option, i want the site to display all 6 posts outright. Can you tell me how to do it?
Gyuricza Laszlo
Hello,
Your guidance was amazing but how can i exclude a specific category from the related posts in order to not display it?
Thank you, in advance!
Sincerely,

You can try one of the related posts plugins.

Hi Syed. How do I style it?

Hi Tuta,
You can use #relatedposts .relatedthumb and .relatedcontent selectors in your CSS to style it.

How to Show Related Post It In two Columns Like here in WPBeginner??
Tom
Nice solution but not definitive for my exigence. Infact the mean problem is that this code sort the related posts from the most recent in the same category or tags. The result is that when you browse inside a category/tag you’ll always display the same few last posts, limiting hardly the older posts of your site. That’s a right conclusion? Please if you tried it share your opinion!
Joy
1. After ’caller_get_posts’=>1 put a comma(,)
2. Hit enter button [next line]
3. Add ’orderby’=>’rand’
You are done. Now related posts will be shown randomly. Thank you.
Zane DeVault
This code works great. I was wondering if you could explain what this part of the code does?
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
…
$post = $orig_post;
I think I have a grasp on what the rest is doing, but this is throwing me for a loop.
Thanks for all your great content!

Let me ask the Code Related Posts by Category posted in public places. thank you

in Twentyfifteen default theme where should i insert this code in single.php file? If i inserted above the endwhile; it shows syntax error, unexpected ‘endwhile’ and if i inserted below the endwhile; but above the endif; it shows syntax error, unexpected ‘endif’
Any solution for this?
Thanks
Mohammad Kazemi
You must use ’<?php' not '<?'

Hi! Great post!
Is there a way to combine both option, in order to call related tags only in the current category ?
Bambang
my single.php layout :
//the_content bla bla bla code here
//Copy paste Related Posts by Tags code here
//comments_template bla bla bla code here
——————————-
the result i got error :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’endwhile’ (T_ENDWHILE) in …
——————————-
after i change ” <? } " to " <?php } " it worked,
just sugestion, maybe it better if you put complete php open tag
thanks
Alex
Works perfect. How to exclude the definite tag from Related Posts by Tags? I mean how to change the code when algorithm would find other posts with any one of the tag (except tag 595 for instance) that the current post has and will list them.
Mohammad
Thanks for the great code
It works great but you didn’t address any css codes for a more beautiful look for this section. Can you please do this? I’m newbie to coding and I tried some codes but they didn’t work. In your codes there is:
echo ’Related Posts’;
but in some similar codes I found in other resources there is:
and in css some codes like this:
.relatedposts {
font-size: 12px;
width: 640px;
}
.relatedposts h3 {
font-size: 20px;
margin: 0 0 5px;
}
will get that a nice look but it didn’t work with your code.
Thanks

Dear collegue this is an error am getting while pasting this code on single.php file.kindly tell me exacctly where should i paste this code.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in C:\xampp\htdocs\beingusefull\wp-content\themes\TechPlus\single.php on line 78
WPBeginner Staff
That will depend on your individual theme and template. You need to add the conditional tag after the WordPress loop begins. After this line:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>Jenny
I got that error too and this is my updated code:
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.
’caller_get_posts’=>1
);
$my_query = new wp_query( $args );
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
Related Posts
have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=””>
<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=””>

When the post i share on facebook, the thumbnail getting from related post, can i get the thumbnail from the main page? thx
Lacey Tech Solutions
If you’re using Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin you can specify the thumbnail URL under the social tab for the post. If the social tab isn’t shown then you need to click the Yoast SEO link in the WordPress admin menu then click ”Social”. In the social page tick the option for, ”Add Open Graph meta data” and save. Go back into your post and you can specify the thumbnail image you want to use when the post is shared. If you don’t implicitly set the post image the user has the option of selecting any image that appears on the page, which is why your recent post images are being pulled in when you share the article link.
Gretchen Louise
Any thoughts on how much of a database/server load this would be on a large self-hosted site? Looking for a related posts alternative now that #nRelate is no longer available.
WPBeginner Staff
Use conditional tag if (is_single()) on the first line of the code.
vipul
can you tell where and how?
Rachael
This doesn’t work in the single.php for me, b/c related posts show up at the very bottom of the page. It works with loop.php but then they also show up on the homepage – any ideas on a fix so it just shows in single posts and not the homepage?
kate // always craving //
Hi, I must be the only one who is not doing this correctly. My theme supports featured images, I added this code before the comments within the single.php file. Any tips on exactly where to input in the code?
Keyko Sakura
All the codes I find never work. Or they don’t change anything on my page or they display an error message. I don’t know what else to do!

Is there a way to add pagination to the related posts query? I cant seem to get pagination to work on a secondary query within single.php. Thanks!

Hello , i want to ask , is there way to make , that related posts would be by category and tags in one place? Thanks.

My thumbnails are too big, help. How can you limit the related posts thumbnails?
WPBeginner Support
You probably need to regenerate thumbnails.

Is there a way to choose a single category (let’s call it Brands) and then have it display related posts only affiliated with the child categories under Brands? So, the hierarchy for the cats would be Brands > JCPenny. I want to only show related posts for JCPenny. But, that child category could be different per post. So if a post uses a different child category it’ll show related posts for that child cat. Can this code be modified to handle that somehow?
Jonathan
OH! I think I’ve got it. I just added ’parent’ => ’the cat id number’, to the args and I think that did it.
Jonathan
wait… no, that didn’t work
Miro
Hi, thanks for the code, but instead of grabbing the featured image as a thumb, can i grab instead the first image in my posts? Thanks

It would be great if you guys would make a post on it. Thank you very much and will be waiting. Hope that you can kindly post here a notification once you made the post so we know.

Great post thanks! I run a website that uses WP more as a CMS with a large number of pages rather than posts. Can I do this with as related pages instead, so that it’s grabbing related pages and not posts? If so how do I go about doing this.
Thanks for the help
Muhammad Hadi Qureshi
Really thanks for this helping post
Phil Simon
This. Is. Awesome. WPEngine understandably doesn’t allow for related posts plugins, save for a few exceptions. I tried a few and really didn’t like them. I threw this code into single.php and voila! Thank you.

This is good, but i wanna do it with title of post rather then tags or category. Any suggestions for it, syed!!

Try pasting the code below the endwhile; in your single.php file.

Love this piece of code, use it on the regular! One question: Is there a way to exclude some tags in the code?
Rakesh
Take a look at the category related posts code. It wont work unless you add some php , the three letters before getting started with echo. Add php and it will not be ignored. In either case, it is ignored and wordpress cries every time with an error note. Thanks for the code by the way and it made my work a lot easier. Thanks a ton for that and do adjust it ,
Dennis
Also, I have one more question,
What if I wanted to display a certain post containing a certain tag to all posts, how would I do this?
Dennis
Hi, this is so awesome! Now I can just get rid of my related post plugin, so thanks A LOT for that!
One question I have is, how can I display the related post in 2 column?
Once again, this has been such a BIG help for me!
Christina
Hi!! Thanks for your helpful information for those, like myself, who have no idea of any coding, but still want to have a blog!! I have just incorporated your ’relate posts by tags” code to my single post file. It works except for the pfotos. They dont show at all and the titles of my related posts are shown the one under the other, like a list. What have I done wrong?? Thanks in advance for your answer!!

Hi,
This code is amazing! Thank you so much. Is there a way I can make the code show related posts from ANOTHER SITE? So it searches the posts from another site that I show below the post as a related post on my site?

Hello – yours is the first tutorial that I found that works but I would like the list vertical. Can you give an example of the CSS for that?
Livius
Hey,
I cannot, find the single.php where I have to insert this code.
The problem is that I am using Balance Theme + Genesis. So in the genesis, I can find the Single.php, but it says to ”Not Edit Under Any Circumstances”, and I have actually pasted the code in there, but it made my site to stop opening pages at all.
And in the Child Balance Theme, there is no Single.php ….
Any suggestions?
Editorial Staff
Yes, don’t edit the framework file. You would have to familiarize yourself with Genesis hooks and filters. Then add the code in one of the loop hooks for single page using your functions.php file. Unfortunately, due to the amount of frameworks out there, we can’t possibly cover our tips for all frameworks.

Mark
Use Genesis Hooks then put the code in there.

Hi! this is very useful coding. Is it possible to use this for making a custom page that will show all the posts, like a sitemap but with thumbnails? Something like this:
Category 1
—– related posts code (all posts from that category) ——
Category 2
—– related posts code (all posts from that category) ——
etc. It would make a great showcase for categories with few posts. Thank you for reading and help!
Dean
hey, found something here.. I will try that

Sometimes I believe it’s better to have add a raw code rather than use a plugin doesn’t is so expansible…
