Related posts for custom post type without plugin

  • Hey all, I’ve been able to call related posts to regular posts without a plugin, however I can not seem to extend the code to a custom post type and/or taxonomy. You can see my code below (placed in my single custom post type file – single-property.php). Seems pretty straight forward but am I doing something wrong? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

    <?php
								$orig_post = $post;
								global $post;
								$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

								if ($tags) {
								$tag_ids = array();
								foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
								$args=array(
								'tag__in' => $tag_ids,
								'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
								'posts_per_page'=>4, // Number of related posts to display.
								'caller_get_posts'=>1,
								'post_type' => 'property',
								'taxonomy' => 'property-type'
								);

								$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

								while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
								$my_query->the_post();
								?>

								<div class="relatedthumb">
									<a rel="external" href="<? the_permalink()?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(array(150,100)); ?><br />
									<?php the_title(); ?>
									</a>
								</div>

								<? }
								}
								$post = $orig_post;
								wp_reset_query();
								?>

    PHP is case sensitive. The line creating a new query object should be $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    While most PHP functions are all lowercase, WordPress classes are usually mixed case, so pay extra attention when instantiating class objects.

    Thanks bcworkz. I was actually able to solve my question just a moment ago with this code.

    global $post;
							if ( 'property' == get_post_type() ) {
							$tags = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'property-city');
							if ($tags) {
								$tag_ids = array();

								foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
								$args=array(
									'tax_query' => array(
							        array(
							            'taxonomy'  => 'property-city',
							            'terms'     => $tag_ids,
							            'operator'  => 'IN'
							        )
							    ),
							    'post__not_in'          => array( $post->ID ),
							    'posts_per_page'        => 4,
							    'ignore_sticky_posts'   => 1
								);
								$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

								if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
