Hey @rmblfish – Sure, here you go:

[related_posts_by_tax title="Read More About This Country" post_types="posts,pages" image_size="medium" format="thumbnails" posts_per_page="-1"]

I think you need post_types=”posts,pages” for it to work across both pages and posts. I wanted the ability for PAGES to pull in related POSTS so this worked for me. Hope it helps.

Here’s an example live: https://traverpolis.com/france/

Thanks!

Thank you I figured it out! I added post_types=”posts,pages”instead of the post id itself. Thanks!

Thank you – that added the ability to add the widget to pages, but since my template only puts widgets on posts and not pages, I still have to use the short code. The short code I added to this page will not pull in related posts based on category. (I have my pages categorized into the same categories as my posts.)

On my page https://traverpolis.com/france/ the shortcode works if I add in a post id to reference:
[related_posts_by_tax title=”Read More About This Country” post_id=”2638″ image_size=”medium” format=”thumbnails” posts_per_page=”-1″]

However when I remove the post id, it doesn’t work. The problem with using the post id is that I want that particular post (2638) to show as well. There are 4 stories total in the France category. So I would prefer it to pull in ALL related posts that are in the “France” category. Is that possible?

Ah now I’m still having trouble. I want the page to display related posts based on a specific category, but the page itself isn’t part of the category. Can I do this? The support doc mentions term id, but I don’t see anywhere to find that… Here is my page: https://traverpolis.com/france/

Never mind I figured out I did not have a post id attributed to pull in. Thanks!

Update: I restored by old functions.php files so all is well. But that code definitely does not work within my functions, unless there is a specific line I should place it on?

Thanks!

Hello – something major just went wrong. I tried that and it gave me a fatal error. I tried undoing it and now it’s giving me this error:
