Hi there,
I registered few Custom Post Types and they are also shown in the Theme Panel as registered post types. All fine.
I have a category attached to the posts also and created few posts.
I can activate features like Author Box from the Theme Panel but no RELATED ARTICLES are shown (ofcourse its active).
I also tried to click on a Category to see the archive, but NO POSTS are shown from the same category. So there is a problem in linking the posts.
BUT when I create a posts in the DEFAULT posts section of WordPress, and assign the same categories, suddenly the Related Articles are shown. But this is no use for me because I need the Custom Post Types. Ive registered them with Custom Post Type UI Plugin and by the way also tested your Custom Post Type Plugin (with Books), but also posts created in that custom post type are not linked together, so the Related articles feature also doesnt work there. Please assist here. Thanks.
Alright, through this tutorial (attached below) Ive managed to add my custom post types to archives, but the Related Articles are still not shown, any ideas?

Hello
Unfortunately, our theme has been designed to display the related articles feature only for the normal post and not for the custom post type. The file containing source code is td_module_single_base.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/h6T5WiWG6OD Also, as you can see in the comment from this file, it is specified that the related articles are missing for custom post type. Please notice that to implement this functionality and for custom post type is not a simple task and is required custom work. If you want to display more levels in this regard and if you are not aware the steps about these, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Sorry, but its ridicilous that this feature is not working for Custom Post Types! You should really consider making your theme much more customizable, for example stuff like “PAGE WIDTH” are standard customizes and is not even possible with your theme. This will make me think to buy this theme again to be honest.
Thanks anyways.
Ok, it seems like I can change the “post” value with a custom post type, but I can only type one, and the related posts are shown. Can you at least tell me how I can type in multiple post types? That would be great, if its possible.
function related_posts($force_sidebar_position = ”) {
global $post;
if ($post->post_type != ‘stellungnahme’) {
return ”;
}
Hi
The theme code it’s written in a very clean way so it can be easily adapted at any situation or customizations. However a feature like flexible width for pages it’s a very difficult task to achieved due to theme’s complexity. Our theme have many block and modules which all are built at fixed sizes. To achieve a flexible width which can be changed dynamically, the entire grid must be rewritten. The and result will be technicality a new theme and this cannot be done so easy.
To allow more post types in related articles box you can include them into an array then loop trough that array to check if the post type it’s allowed or not to appear in more articles box.
Note that this is a complex task which involve many customizations and also good coding skills. If you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.
Thanks!
