Related Posts for Custom Post Types

Could you post a link to one of your Custom Post Type pages, so I can have a look?

Could you also let me know the code you used to enable Related Posts on that post type?

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for addressing my issue. The page for on of my custom post type is
“A world help captive”

The code which I used to add JetPack to custom post type is:

/*
* Adding JetPack Related
* Posts to Custom Post Types
*/
function allow_my_post_types($allowed_post_types) {
    $allowed_post_types[] = 'book';
    $allowed_post_types[] = 'article';
    $allowed_post_types[] = 'correspondencecourse';
    $allowed_post_types[] = 'audio';
    return $allowed_post_types;
}
add_filter( 'rest_api_allowed_post_types', 'allow_my_post_types' );

Could you try to install and activate this small plugin, by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload in your dashboard:
https://i.wpne.ws/Vdoc

Once you’ve activated the plugin, try to relaunch the indexation (you’ll find the reindex button by clicking on the “Debug” link at the bottom of the Jetpack menu in your dashboard).
If the Related Posts start appearing, you can deactivate and delete this small plugin.

Let me know if it helps.

Hey Jeremy,

On a not related note. I am setting up JetPack on localhost, can’t I enable the Related Posts on development mode?

I installed your fix plugin Jeremy, its still not working. Maybe I made some mistake in creating the custom post types? Not sure, so I am giving you the code I used to create this custom post type:

/* --- BOOK POSTTYPE --- **/
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_cpts' );
function cptui_register_my_cpts() {

  if ( !post_type_exists( 'book' ) ) {

    $labels = array(
      'name' => 'Books',
      'singular_name' => 'book',
      'menu_name' => 'My Books',
      'all_items' => 'All Books',
      'add_new' => 'Add New',
      'add_new_item' => 'Add New Book',
      );

    $args = array(
      'labels' => $labels,
      'description' => 'This is a book post type.',
      'public' => true,
      'show_ui' => true,
      'has_archive' => true,
      'show_in_menu' => true,
      'exclude_from_search' => true,
      'capability_type' => 'post',
      'map_meta_cap' => true,
      'hierarchical' => true,
      'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'book', 'with_front' => true ),
      'query_var' => true,
              'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'revisions', 'thumbnail', 'author', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes' ),    'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ) );
    register_post_type( 'book', $args );
  }
// End of cptui_register_my_cpts()
}

I am setting up JetPack on localhost, can’t I enable the Related Posts on development mode?

I’m afraid not, since WordPress.com has to be able to access your site to index all posts and calculate Related Posts. That’s just not possible on a site hosted locally.

I installed your fix plugin Jeremy, its still not working.

Could you let me know how many posts are currently published in the Book post type?

Could you let me know how many posts are currently published in the Book post type?

There are total 31 pots in books custom post type

Your site doesn’t seem connected to WordPress.com anymore. Could you try to reconnect?

Could you also let me know how many other posts and pages are currently published on your site? I wonder if you have less than 10 posts published at the moment.
