Wordpress - How to display related posts from same category?
One possibility:
$related = get_posts(
array(
'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ),
'numberposts' => 5,
'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID )
)
);
if( $related ) {
foreach( $related as $post ) {
setup_postdata($post);
/*whatever you want to output*/
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
Reference:
get_posts
wp_reset_postdata
wp_get_post_categories
Answer re-written based on WP_Query()
:
$related = new WP_Query(
array(
'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ),
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID )
)
);
if( $related->have_posts() ) {
while( $related->have_posts() ) {
$related->the_post();
/*whatever you want to output*/
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
