Um, dude, you gotta give us more to go on than that, right? Can you explain what you’re looking for? You sure get points for brevity. ??

If I’m intuiting what you need, I think you might be looking for a function like: wp_get_recent_posts or some of the examples on that page.

I hope that helps.

bcworkz waves at Eric ??
I intuit the same. The examples do not address some minor quirks, I would do it this way:

global $post, $more;
$myposts = get_posts( array('posts_per_page' => 1 ));
foreach ( $myposts as $post_obj ) {
   $more = 1; //show full content in all contexts
   $post = $post_obj;
   setup_postdata( $post );
   the_content();
}
wp_reset_postdata();

tnx

show related post . That is correct?:

<?php
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
$args=array(
‘tag__in’ => $tag_ids,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘posts_per_page’=>4, // Number of related posts to display.
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
);

$my_query = new wp_query( ‘showposts=3’ );

while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();
?>

<!–content–>

<?php }
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>

Oh! Related, not latest? English can be so confusing!

Your code has a few problems, but it’s close. It must be inside a standard WP loop to work:

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   /* inside the WP loop */
endwhile;

You don’t really need these lines, though they do no real harm:

$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$post = $orig_post;

Most important is to change the $my_query = line to this:
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );

Change 'caller_get_posts'=>1 to 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
Set the maximum number of related posts to list on this line:
'posts_per_page'=>4, // Number of related posts to display.

Finally, replace <!--content--> with code to display what you want for each related post. It’s up to you what this is, you can start with this:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>

It is possible for me to paste in the following codeIt is possible for me to paste in the following code

<?php
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
$args=array(
‘tag__in’ => $tag_ids,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘posts_per_page’=>4, // Number of related posts to display.
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
);

$my_query = new wp_query( ‘showposts=3’ );

while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();
?>
<div class=”col-xs-12 col-md-4″>
” class=”thumbnail recent”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(‘related’); ?>
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>

</div>
<?php }
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
?>

When you post code, please surround it with backticks: `code_here`, otherwise the forum’s parser can mangle it. I cannot really tell if the loop content you added is correct because of this.

Let us assume that is OK. The main problem remains this line:
$my_query = new wp_query( 'showposts=3' );

Please change it to this:
$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

ok?

<?php
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
$args=array(
‘tag__in’ => $tag_ids,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘posts_per_page’=>3, // Number of related posts to display.
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
);

$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();
?>
<div class=”col-xs-12 col-md-4″>
” class=”thumbnail recent”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(‘related’); ?>
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>

</div>
<?php }
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
?>

Looks OK, should be working for you now. For good measure please change 'caller_get_posts'=>1 to 'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1 – ‘caller_get_posts’ is deprecated.

I’m still not 100% sure about your content <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">...</div> but it’s probably OK. You need to use the ‘code’ button or backticks when posting code, not the ‘b-quote’ button ??
