  • How to change related posts to related articles?
    My template had this kind of function for related posts. 

    if( ! function_exists( 'fusion_get_related_posts' ) ) {
	/**
	 * Get related posts by category
	 * @param  integer  $post_id       current post id
	 * @param  integer  $number_posts  number of posts to fetch
	 * @return object                  object with posts info
	 */
	function fusion_get_related_posts( $post_id, $number_posts = -1 ) {
		global $smof_data;
		$query = new WP_Query();

		$args = '';

		if( $number_posts == 0 ) {
			return $query;
		}

		$args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'category__in'          => wp_get_post_categories( $post_id ),
			'ignore_sticky_posts'   => 0,
			'posts_per_page'        => $number_posts,
			'post__not_in'          => array( $post_id ),
		));

		// If placeholder images are disabled, add the _thumbnail_id meta key to the query to only retrieve posts with featured images
		if ( ! $smof_data['featured_image_placeholder'] ) {
			$args['meta_key'] = '_thumbnail_id';
		}		

		$query = new WP_Query( $args );

		return $query;
	}
}

    Is it possible to change something in here so it would start showing articles instead of posts?

    Or is there any other way to show related articles with IssueM?

  • Try adding this to the $args:

    'post_type' => 'articles',

    Thanks for the answer Kevin!

    You mean like this?

    $args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_type'		=> 'articles',
			'category__in'          => wp_get_post_categories( $post_id ),
			'ignore_sticky_posts'   => 0,
			'posts_per_page'        => $number_posts,
			'post__not_in'          => array( $post_id ),
		));

    This didn’t help.
