Shortcode works, do_shortcode or theme functions do not

    Hey,

    when I use the shortcode in the end of a post the plugin correctly renders some related posts.

    However, when I try to integrate the shortcode to my article template, neither do_shortcode() nor km_rpbt_related_posts_by_taxonomy() seem to work (for the same exact post). Inside the loop I have tried both of these like so:

    <?php var_dump($post->ID); ?>
<?php do_shortcode('[related_posts_by_tax post_id="' . $post->ID . '"]'); ?>
<?php km_rpbt_related_posts_by_taxonomy($post->ID, 'category'); ?>

    I get the correct post ID output to the page, but no related posts or errors.

    Hi kontur

    Are you echoing the shortcode?

    
<?php echo do_shortcode('[related_posts_by_tax post_id="' . $post->ID . '"]'); ?>

    You’re welcome ??

    The shortcode works for me, but the function is returning an empty array:

    
$taxonomies = array('project_categories', 'service_categories');
$has_related = km_rpbt_related_posts_by_taxonomy($post->ID, $taxonomies);

    a var_dump of the function gives me:

    
array(0) {}

    Any thoughts?

    I needed to pass the correct post type in the args. Nevermind ??
