Have related posts just show a specific post type on certain pages

Howdy –

It sounds like you want a specific group of posts to display on a specific designated page? Is that right?

Can you tell me more about this bit?

but I want to be able to have it show a certain post type depending where the usage is.

Hey! ??

Sorry I didn’t explain very well, let me try again.

So basically I have 2 post types the original “post” and a CPT “tv-show”.

On a “post” I want related posts to only show posts.

On a “tv-show” the CPT I want related posts to only show tv shows.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Yep. You can use a code snippet as outlined here. Add that to the desired location on the site.

We aren’t able to support further customization though as you’ll read on that page I linked above.

Hi

Sure I understand that but that doesn’t help me achieve what I’m trying to achieve.

Unless a code snippet can easily be only loaded on a specific post type? Is this possible?

Is what I’m asking in general even possible? Well easily.

It seems like a fairly basic request.. I don’t really understand why I’m paying for premium if all support ever quote is dismissive things like “We aren’t able to support… customization though as you’ll read on that page I linked…”

Nothing constructive like I see what you are trying to achieve I’ll suggest this internally. Just comments that seem like you are basically saying; no we can’t help, the site says that, why are you even contacting us.

I won’t be renewing premium that’s for sure.

You could theoretically develop a template file for your theme that’s only used on the certain post type, and then use that code snippet in the template file.

Custom development work is not included in any of our paid plans though. If you’d like to hire someone for this work, we recommend https://jetpack.pro/
