Creating a post which summarizes other posts based on part of title

  • Hi, I’m running a blog which retrieves movie reviews from other fellow moviebloggers (with their permission as the posts link to their sites when clicking on them). This means the blog has several reviews of the same movie.

    I would like to create separate posts which shows all the reviews that can be found on the blog for a specific movie, for example Dunkirk. When doing a search I can retrieve all the posts and could add them manually, but as not all of them are posted the same day it would mean a lot of work to keep the list up to date. Is there a way to do this automatically, like a (semi)real time updating search when the post is loaded?

    This sounds like something taxonomies can help with.

    Depending on how you want his to work, the default taxonomies of ‘Categories’ or ‘Tags’ might be suitable or you could create a custom taxonomy, then each review post would be given a term in that taxonomy equivalent to the movie name.

    To see all of the posts of a specific movie you would show the taxonomy term archive for the movie’s name.

    All the posts on the site are created automatically based on rss feeds, so I probably would need a plugin which automatically adds the taxonomy based on a specified term. Do you know of any good ones?

    And how would I be able to show the taxonomy term archive in a specific post?

    If the posts are created automatically based on feeds, you’d need an extension for the plugin that imports the posts – maybe posting on the forum for that plugin will give you answer.

    There are probably plugins available which will add a list of posts with the same term of a specific taxonomy, but this can also be achieved by adding code to the taxonomy’s template – there are a couple of examples that can be used as a starting point at https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39455/how-can-i-show-recent-posts-from-same-taxonomy-as-the-post-currently-being-viewe
