Hi Guys, Thank you for your support.
Is there some method I can use to filter the Related Articles at the bottom of posts?
I couldn’t find any options in the (Theme Panel -> Post Settings) and wondered if this is possible?
Currently, I am trying to exclude a certain category from appearing under Related Posts…
Thanks.
Hi,
The Related articles section displayed on post pages will filter the posts by same category or same tag
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/
There is no option at the moment to exclude a particular category from this section, the posts displayed will be from a common category or tag with the post that you are on.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
Ok, Thanks.
Assuming you are from the TagDiv Team, (Sorry I’m not exactly sure where to look yet), it would be extremely helpful if a feature like this was added in in future 🙂
Thanks.
Hi,
More customization options for the Related articles section may be added in future theme updates, but I could not say when exactly this will happen. At the moment those are the only settings in this regard.
Thanks
Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to filter which posts are shown via custom code?
Thanks.
Hi,
That would require modifications to the theme files. This is where the related section is defined in the theme

You could try the solution from this topic and specify a category from which the posts will be displayed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/related-articles-3/
Or disable the default Related section (through the theme panel, or comment the code in the post template) and insert a block through a shortcode, with the filtering you want
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-content-after-post-items-after-related-articles/
You could try it like this. Configure the block how you want it and use the code in te corresponding loop file with the post template used

<?php echo do_shortcode ('your shortcode here'); ?>
Thanks
Hi Again,
I ended up editing the file td_module_single_base.php and your code worked like a charm! ?
‘category_id’ => ‘1’
While you are there, is it possible to randomize what posts are displayed like in the block settings via code?
Thanks!
Hi,
You could try something like this and see if it working properly

Siomion,
My related articles is populating old articles. Is it possible to display articles that most recent first?
More specifically, I want to be able to do Latest Article + From same category
Hi,
@allongeorgia That section is filtered by latest already, if you published posts with the category or tag (depending on the type of sorting you have) those would appear first as a related post is viewed.
I could take a look at an example of this issue, please provide a link to such a post.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
I noticed my related posts are not filtered by latest. Is there a way to ad that sort option to td_module_single?
Hi,
@r1kay I will inspect the issue you mention, provide a link to a post with the problem. I have tested this again. As soon as a post is published, it will appear in all post related articles sections. Of course that will happen only if it has at least one category or tag in common with it, depending on your settings.
