Related post disappear

Same exact thing happened to me. I went in and removed date and context as well after noticing it appeared after the recent update. All related posts instantly vanished. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting Jetpack and performing a full sync, neither of which worked. I submitted a support request through the official Jetpack support form and waiting to hear back. If I get a solution I will post it here. If you find a solution before me, please let me know.

Thanks

Thank you for your answer. We hope to get a solution.

From jet pack support:

Thanks for the report! We’re tracking this issue here:

https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/6323

There’s a work-around in that issue that involves using an mu-plugin; we’re also working on a patch but I don’t have a timeline for when it will be released, but hopefully soon!

Found this workaround/solution in another thread and it also works.

Add the below function to your functions.php. I had to flush my cache and then go into jetpack settings to disable related posts and then re-enable. Might have to go into customizer again too or it might just show up on your blog by just adding the following code:

function jeherve_force_rp_on( $options ) {
    $options['enabled'] = true;

    return $options;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_relatedposts_filter_options', 'jeherve_force_rp_on' );

@markob17 The GitHub issue and the snippet above are indeed 2 valid ways of solving this issue until we release the next version of Jetpack with a fix. Thanks for jumping in with your comments!

@valeriom Let me know if it helped!

@jeherve No problem! Thank you for the great plugin and support.

Hello guys! I have been following the thread. Thanks for this awesome plugin.

The fix worked for me but how do I remove the date without going through Customizer again.

Many thanks

how do I remove the date without going through Customizer again.

You can use the customizer if you’d like. Another option would be to do it through code, with this snippet:

function jetpackcom_no_related_post_dates( $options ) {
	$options['show_date'] = false;

	return $options;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_relatedposts_filter_options', 'jetpackcom_no_related_post_dates' );

Worked perfect! Thanks.
