Present Related Articles ordered by date

[allspy]

Related Articles that appear after a post are not presented by order date.

I really need to present related posts ordered by date. Any idea how to fix it?

See if this works…

Copy /kleo/page-parts/posts-related.php to your child theme (/kleo-child/page-parts/posts-related.php) and add the orderby date parameter to the argument list like…

replace

COPY CODE

$args['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => $tax,
                'field' => 'id',
                'terms' => $terms
            );

with this

COPY CODE

$args['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => $tax,
                'field' => 'id',
                'terms' => $terms,
                'orderby' => 'date'
            );

Hi,

This error is now visible where the related posts where present:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”orderby” (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in /home/sitedemo/public_html/wp-content/themes/kleo-child/page-parts/posts-related.php on line 44

Thanks

Looks like you either forgot the comma after $terms or when you copied the code, the quote marks got screwed up.

Hi,

The code is exactly has you show.

The original on my file:

COPY CODE

    if (!empty($categories)) {
        foreach( $categories as $tax ) {
            $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, $tax, array('fields' => 'ids'));

            $args['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => $tax,
                'field' => 'id',
                'terms' => $terms
            );
        }
    }
}

How it satys after the update:

COPY CODE

    if (!empty($categories)) {
        foreach( $categories as $tax ) {
            $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, $tax, array('fields' => 'ids'));

            $args['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => $tax,
                'field' => 'id',
                'terms' => $terms,
                'orderby' => 'date'
            );
        }
    }
}

Do you see anything wrong?

Thanks

[sharmstr]

No I dont. I copied into my file and it works perfectly. No errors. If you want to give me access I’ll have a look.

Not sure why you were getting the error, I added the code and there were no errors.

In any case, I gave you the wrong code. Its fixed now and your related articles are in date order. You will lose that change during the next Kleo update since you’re not running the Kleo child theme. After you update, be sure to change ‘rand’ to ‘date’ at the top of the file.

The code already limits to the same category. If the file is in your child theme, change ‘rand’ to ‘date’ at the top of the file as I’ve instructed.
