How to display the related posts on your website

The related posts are displayed by adding

show( $post_id ); ?>

to your template. Replace $post_id with a post ID. If you call it within the WordPress loop, you can use

show( get_the_ID() ); ?>

You have the option of either outputting a pre-formatted list or returning a PHP array of related posts to customise the
markup yourself.

Examples

Example 1: Using the default output

show( get_the_ID() ); ?>

This can be called within the WordPress loop. It will output a

list with links.

Example 2: Returning an array

show( get_the_ID(), true );
?>

Example 3: Using a simple foreach loop

With the second argument set to true, it will return an array of post objects. Use it to generate your own custom markup.
Here is an example:

show( get_the_ID(), true );

    // Display the title of each related post
    if( is_array( $rel ) && count( $rel ) > 0 ) {
        foreach ( $rel as $r ) {
            if ( is_object( $r ) ) {
                if ($r->post_status != 'trash') {
                    echo get_the_title( $r->ID ) . '
';
                }
            }
        }
    }
?>

Example 4: Using a WordPress loop

If you want to run it with a real WordPress loop, then use it as follows. You can then use functions like the_content or the_excerpt.
But make sure you don’t use the content filter for related posts, because you might get an endless stream of related posts that are related to each other :).

show( get_the_ID(), true );

    // Display the title and excerpt of each related post
    if( is_array( $rel ) && count( $rel ) > 0 ) {
        foreach ( $rel as $r ) {
            if ( is_object( $r ) ) {
                if ($r->post_status != 'trash') {
                    setup_postdata( $r );
                    echo get_the_title( $r->ID ) . '
';
                    the_excerpt();
                }
            }
        }
        wp_reset_postdata();
    }
?>

Example 5: Using Related_du plugin

Using the default output from the Related (Doubled Up) plugin:

show( get_the_ID() ); ?>

This can be called within the WordPress loop. It will output a

list with links.
