Automatically show all other posts from same category?

  • Hello,

    Is there a way to make it happen so that when a user arrives at a post on a blog from a direct link to that post WordPress also displays all other posts from the same category that post is in?

    So for example a user goes a Google search on peacocks and one of my posts is displayed in Google and a user clicks on it. That post is from a category called birds and when the user arrives at that post WordPress also displays all the other posts from the birds category.

    Can it be done?

    Thanks.

    Thank you.

    Do you know if it is possible to display the actual posts rather than the titles?

    I don’t know. But seriously? Wouldn’t that be a bit too much info on one page?

    For use in single.php, display all posts for each catetory assigned to the single post:

    <?php
if ( is_single() ) {
  $categories = get_the_category();
  if ($categories) {
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
      // echo "<pre>"; print_r($category); echo "</pre>";
      $cat = $category->cat_ID;
      $args=array(
        'cat' => $cat,
        'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
        'posts_per_page'=>-1,
        'caller_get_posts'=>1
      );
      $my_query = null;
      $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
      if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
        echo '<h2>More Posts from '. $category->category_description . '</h2>';
        while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
          <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
         <?php
          the_content();
        endwhile;
      } //if ($my_query)
    } //foreach ($categories
  } //if ($categories)
  wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
} //if (is_single())
?>
