    Hi

    1) Happy New Year 2015 ! The work you do is outstanding and has so much love in it that is shows ??

    2) I am using your wonderful plugin on 2 categories: posts and products (through WooCommerce).
    Related Posts work now perfectly but I have difficulties understand how the ‘relation’ works between posts and products as products have their own separate tags (even if they are named the same way).

    Without further ado, the use case:

    As you can see here (below the quote), the related products show correctly as this quote is tagged LOVE (as well as the related products) (I believe this is the reason):quote

    But now if I display a quote related with Mindfulness (another tag with which I used on a few products), it does not work: quote

    I use the following code to show related products:
    [related_posts_by_tax posts_per_page="4" format="thumbnails" order="RAND" post_types="product" title="Related Products:" before_title="<h2>" after_title="</h2>" limit_posts="8" taxonomies="post_tag" columns="4"]

    Can you help me understand?

    By the way, one day it would be great if we could put an ID to each gallery because each time this kind of things happen (a gallery does not show up because of lack of content) it messes up the CSS of the other galleries ;).

    Thanks a lot

    Hi astpaul

    Happy new year to you too. Thanks for the compliments ??

    Try replacing limit_posts with posts_per_page:

    [related_posts_by_tax posts_per_page="4" format="thumbnails" order="RAND" post_types="product" title="Related Products:" before_title="<h2>" after_title="</h2>" posts_per_page="8" taxonomies="post_tag" columns="4"]

    limit_posts lets you limit the number of posts to search the related posts in.

    Thanks for the tip. However, how would it work anyway as Posts and Products does not share the same tag ID even if they do share the same Tag Names?!

    The related posts are found by term IDs from the current post and not by term name. If the posts don’t share the same tag id the plugin doesn’t consider the posts related.

    Are these terms from different taxonomies?
