Deseja exibir uma lista de posts relacionados em seu site WordPress e prefere usar código em vez de um plug-in?
Quando os visitantes do seu blog terminarem de ler um artigo de seu interesse, oferecer uma lista de publicações relacionadas os manterá envolvidos e os ajudará a encontrar novos conteúdos para ler.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como exibir posts relacionados no WordPress usando código, sem necessidade de plugin.
Por que mostrar páginas relacionadas no WordPress?
Quando o seu blog WordPress começa a crescer, pode ficar mais difícil para os usuários encontrarem outras publicações sobre o mesmo tópico.
Exibir uma lista de conteúdo relacionado no final de cada publicação de blog é uma ótima maneira de manter os visitantes em seu site e aumentar as visualizações de página. Isso também ajuda a melhorar a visibilidade de suas páginas mais importantes, exibindo seu melhor conteúdo onde as pessoas possam encontrá-lo facilmente.
Se você não estiver familiarizado com códigos, será mais simples escolher um dos muitos plug-ins de posts relacionados do WordPress que podem exibir posts relacionados sem código.
Mas se você já se perguntou se pode exibir posts relacionados sem usar um plug-in, compartilharemos dois algoritmos diferentes que você pode usar para gerar posts relacionados com miniaturas usando apenas o código:
Observação: se você quiser mostrar uma miniatura com cada publicação relacionada, certifique-se de adicionar primeiro uma imagem em destaque a essas publicações.
Método 1: Como mostrar posts relacionados no WordPress por tags
Uma maneira eficiente de localizar conteúdo relacionado é procurar outras publicações que compartilhem as mesmas tags. As tags costumam ser usadas para focar nos detalhes específicos contidos em uma publicação.
Com isso em mente, talvez você queira adicionar algumas tags comuns às postagens que deseja relacionar umas às outras. Você pode inseri-las na caixa “Tags” no editor do WordPress.
Depois de adicionar tags às suas postagens, a próxima coisa a fazer é adicionar o seguinte trecho de código ao modelo single.php do seu tema. Se precisar de ajuda para adicionar código ao seu site, consulte nosso guia sobre como colar trechos da Web no 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();
Esse código procura as tags associadas a uma página e, em seguida, executa uma consulta ao banco de dados para buscar páginas com tags semelhantes.
Onde você deve colocar o código? Isso depende do seu tema, mas, na maioria dos casos, você deve conseguir colar o código no modelo single.php do seu tema após a publicação principal e logo acima da seção de comentários.
Se estiver usando o tema Twenty Twenty-One, como em nosso site de demonstração, um bom lugar para colar o código é no arquivo template-parts/content/content-single.php após o cabeçalho e logo após <?php the_content();.
Isso exibirá automaticamente o conteúdo relacionado em qualquer post do WordPress. Você precisará alterar o estilo e a aparência das postagens relacionadas para que correspondam ao seu tema, adicionando CSS personalizado.
Dica: em vez de editar os arquivos do tema, o que poderia danificar seu site, recomendamos o uso de um plug-in de trechos de código como o WPCode.
O WPCode torna seguro e fácil adicionar códigos personalizados no WordPress. Além disso, ele vem com opções de “Inserção” que permitem inserir e executar automaticamente trechos em locais específicos do seu site WordPress, como após uma postagem.
Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia sobre como adicionar código personalizado no WordPress. Você também pode conferir nossa análise detalhada do WPCode para saber mais sobre o plugin.
Método 2: Como mostrar posts relacionados no WordPress por categoria
Outra maneira de exibir conteúdo relacionado é listar as postagens que estão na mesma categoria. A vantagem desse método é que a lista de posts relacionados quase nunca estará em branco.
Como no Método 1, você precisa adicionar um trecho de código ao modelo single.php do seu tema ou em um plug-in de trechos de código como o WPCode. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte o Método 1 e nosso guia sobre como adicionar código personalizado no 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();
Agora você verá uma lista de conteúdo relacionado na parte inferior de cada publicação.
Se quiser alterar o estilo e a aparência das páginas relacionadas, você precisará adicionar CSS personalizado para corresponder ao seu tema.

Is there a way to have related post based on the post title. I do not have tags and my categories really don’t do the trick since there is no distinction between them.
This would be of great help if you had a code to show related content based on the post title.

Thank you for your nice post.
Here “ignore_sticky_posts” should be used instead of “caller_get_posts”. Because “caller_get_posts” is deprecated.

Can you direct me as to where to add what categories I would like to limit the related posts to?
WPBeginner Support says
This method limits the posts to the category the post is in. To limit the categories you would need to create an if statement to exclude certain categories.

Greg says
Is it possible where there are more than X related posts by category that are related that you can randomise say 3 posts?
WPBeginner Support says
While it is possible, it would require adding far more to this, you may want to look into a plugin for that type of customization.

I found a way to make the smaller thumbnails, but it shows them in a column and not horizontally. How can this be modified?
Luis says
The script is working well. The only problem I have is that the thumb-nails are very large. Would there be some way to make them smaller?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Luis,
It uses the default post-thumbnail size. You can create a new thumbnail size and then use it in the code like this:

Hello,
I’m a beginner in WorldPress.
I’d like to show Related Posts.
In the main menu I have Category A, and in Category A – Subcategories A, B and C. The posts are in Category A, but they can also be present in all 3 Subcategories.
When choosing one of the Related Posts something goes wrong and the posts from the initially chosen Subcategory don’t show correct anymore.

Hi Admin, Very informative article. I like your site because of simplicity and straightforwardness. All articles are to the point but when it comes to sharing the knowledge of code you become too technical. Just ignore the fact that much of the visitors are not coding expert. Wouldn’t it be much better if you just add 2or 3 more lines in your explanation to make it complete and easily understandable to all. Anyway, great article But I want to know which code or plugin is Wpbeginner using?
Ahmad says
really helpful, thanks !
Tracy says
what really sucks about your articles is you never actually say HOW to do something. It’s all well and good to tell me to put code into my single.php, but as a beginner I don’t know what that is or where to find it. You might want to think about putting this kind of critical information into your articles instead of assuming we know what it means, or that we have surfed every one of your articles to figure it out.
Victor Siyaya says
I Agree. I have no idea where to paste this code too.
Rose says
Thanks for the great post, very useful. I came across an error in the code so wanted to share in hope it may be useful for others in the future. The error was:
WP_Query was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 3.1.0! “caller_get_posts” is deprecated. Use “ignore_sticky_posts” instead.
So I simply replaced it and it worked fine. I am also using namespacing so I needed to change WP_Query to \WP_Query plus I changed the order of the below:
global $post;
$orig_post = $post;
Thanks again
Rose

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?

You can try one of the related posts plugins.

How to Show Related Post It In two Columns Like here in WPBeginner??
Tom says
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 says
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 says
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!

Hi! Great post!
Is there a way to combine both option, in order to call related tags only in the current category ?

my single.php layout :

//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

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 says
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

WPBeginner Staff says
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 says
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=””>

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 says
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 says
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 says
Use conditional tag if (is_single()) on the first line of the code.

Jonathan says
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 says
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 says
wait… no, that didn’t work

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.
