List current category post with thumbnails and pagination

  • I’m trying to make a list of posts from the current category (“Other posts from the same category”). In my list I would like to have:

    START LINK
    -THUMBNAIL IMAGE
    -TITLE
    END LINK

    I would also like to have a pagination at the end if the related posts are many.

    I found something who helped me to list the posts, but I don’t get the thumbnail to work. I’m also trying to figure out how to add the pagination.

    <?php

  //Gets category and author info
  global $wp_query;
$cats = get_the_category();
$tempQuery = $wp_query;
  $currentId = $post->ID;

// related category posts
  $catlist = "";
  forEach( $cats as $c ) {
  if( $catlist != "" ) { $catlist .= ","; }
  $catlist .= $c->cat_ID;
  }
  $newQuery = "posts_per_page=5&cat=" . $catlist;
  query_posts( $newQuery );
$categoryPosts = "";
  $count = 0;
if (have_posts()) {
  while (have_posts()) {
  the_post();
  if( $count<4 && $currentId!=$post->ID) {
  $count++;
  $categoryPosts .= '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_post_thumbnail( "ID", "thumbnail" ) . '</a><br /><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . the_title( "", "", false ) . '</a></li>';
  }
  }
  }
  $wp_query = $tempQuery;
  ?>
<?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
	<h2>Detta ?r kategori: <?php the_category(', ');?></h2>
<ul>
<?php echo $categoryPosts; ?>
</ul>

<?php endwhile;?>

    Very greatful for all the help I can get. Thanks in advance!

    So I solved the thumbnail part. Still need help with the pagination though!

    I solved it myself.

    <?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<ul>
<?php
	global $post;
	$categories = get_the_category();
	$thiscat = $categories[0]->cat_ID;
?>

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
  'posts_per_page' => 4,
  'paged' => $paged,
  'cat' => $thiscat
);

query_posts($args);
?>

	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail("thumbnail"); ?><br />
	<?php the_title(); ?>	</a></li>						

	<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php html5wp_pagination(); ?>

  	<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
 </ul>
