Related Posts showing oldest articles

[chrisatnetworld]

The “Related Posts” portion at the bottom of a blog article page is always showing the very first 3 articles. I would like to change it to show the 3 most recent or order it randomly so that it shows different related posts each time. How/where can I change this? Do I have to alter the PHP template or is there a setting in the admin somewhere I am missing?

 

Example:

Article page: http://icxa.org/2016/03/billy-bishop-toronto-city-airport-creative-competition-st-joseph-thrilled-to-be-a-top-5-finalist/

At the bottom it shows “ComQi wins…” then “ICX Association Honors” and “Scala announces” which are the first three posts in the “Industry News” category. It shows these three at the bottom of every article in this category. I want it to ORDER BY post date DESC or RANDOM

Hello, it shows related posts and right now can’t be changed
If you want to change it you may need to change theme functions, we can only help you with small modifications

Hello, you can check it out at the file kleo\page-parts\posts-related.php
And you will see its sort by random

COPY CODE

/* Query args */
$args=array(
    'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
    'showposts'=> 8,
    'orderby' => 'rand' //random posts
);

Thanks for the reply Laura. But according to that code it should show (or orderyby) random posts, which would work fine for me, but it doesn’t. It always shows the oldest 3 posts. So that seems like a bug.

Hello, could you share admin credentials so i can check it out? 🙂

Newest version of Kleo – this bug still exists.

I see this code:

$args=array(
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘showposts’=> 8,
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ //random posts
);

But it doesn’t actually work ;o

[Radu]

Hi,

I understand,

I will add this to buglist untill we patch this pluase replace the code form above with this

COPY CODE

/* Query args */
$args=array(
    'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
    'showposts'=> 8,
    'orderby' => 'rand', //random posts
    'order'   => 'ASC' //most recent first
);

Also let me know if that works ok.

Cheers

Hello there,

I still have this problem as well.

Has any fix been found in the meantime?

Thank you.

Hi,

Just replace this file content : /kleo/wp-content/themes/kleo/page-parts/posts-related.php

With this one: https://pastebin.com/raw/KwvbBDjp

This will be fixed in next theme update so just replace that file content.

Cheers
