Display Related Posts Based On Category Without Plugin
If you looking for display related posts on your post/view page? then here we have a solution to display the related posts based on category in your WordPress site. Without plugin is always the best way I recommend you because this only helps you to maintain your website performance.
Use the below code in your end of post content on a single.php (Single Post) template. This will display a maximum of 5 related posts on your single.php page, if you like to increase the post then you can change ‘numberposts’ count also any other customization.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
<?php $relatedPost = get_posts(array( 'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID), 'numberposts' => 5, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ) )); if ($relatedPost) foreach ($relatedPost as $post) { setup_postdata($post); ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php the_content(); ?> </li> <?php } wp_reset_postdata(); ?> |
