How to use multiple Related Posts module?

Hello @siteowner66

Unfortunately, this isn’t really possible out of the box, but there’s a workaround you could try.

Considering that you already have Blocksy Pro, you can use the Content Blocks feature in combination with the [blocksy_posts] shortcode to achieve something very similar to the effect you want.

Here’s a short tutorial on Content Blocks — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQXiTzmTvQo
And the KB article for the blocksy_posts shortcode — https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/developers-general-developers/blocksy-posts-shortcode/

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thx for response, but i have some questions:

1. How to use it? When i use shortcode with Content Blocks it displaying shortcode on my website, no related module.

2. How to modify its style when it will be displaying?

Hello @siteowner66

I have never said that you can replicate 1:1 the related posts module, because that’s been built differently. Plus, you can use a lot of the Gutenberg post grids out there, if you want some more advanced styling for these posts.

To modify the styling, simply go to the Customiser -> Blog Posts section.

Thanks.

I got it and it is displaying fine, but how to filter posts by the same tags or the same category as post, where it is displaying?

Hello @siteowner66

You can filter posts via our attributes that are presented at the link above. There isn’t an automated sorting/filtering option because that’s now how this is intended to be used. That’s why I specified that it is a workaround that gets you close to the desired results, but not quite there. You still need to do some manual work on adjusting the shortcode to get it to display just right.

For example, you can create a Content Block that shows only posts from a specific category, and that Content Block is only shown on posts that are linked to that category.

Example usage:
Category ID = 27 = Business
Content Block with shortcode like this [blocksy_posts term_ids=”27″] assigned only to posts with the 27 – Business category assigned to them.
This will only display the Content Block with posts from the “Business” category only on posts with the “Business” category.

Makes sense? ??

You can even use a slider functionality to get the posts to display better.
But then again, all of this is a more advanced method to get around the limitations imposed by WordPress itself.

Thanks.

Thx for help!

Happy to do it @siteowner66

Thanks.
