   Fantastic! Works great with WP 1.5.2 and K2 Beta One 96. You have given new life to old posts with a renewed relevance. Thanks!

   Uh-Oh! This Plugin will find unpublished pending posts in your WRITE queue and display them. That’s not good. Uninstalled the Plugin.

   Wow ! That’s a very good plugin Mark, thank you
   Just a quick question though : the comment LivePreview appears before the Related posts section. Is there a way to change that ?

   Thanks

   Thanks for a great plugin! Just one question: I’m using another plugin which auto-closes comments after x days. For all posts where the comments are closed, there are no contextual related posts listed. Is there a way around this?
7. Mark (118 comments.) says:

   11/28/2005 at 11:58 am

   Not in this version of the plugin since it uses the comment code to start off the display. You can add the code to your template to get around the display problem.

   Hey Mark?

   It looks like the first return of the five is always the title of the article you’re reading. Does that seem like a wasted return to you? Is it possible for your Plugin to ignore the title of the originating post so it is never returned in its own Context?
9. Mark (118 comments.) says:

   11/28/2005 at 1:43 pm

   Try it now.
10. David W. Boles (5 comments.) says:

    11/28/2005 at 1:56 pm

    Ooo! Perfecto! That’s good stuff, thanks Mark! Don’t you think these changes deserve a change in version number?
11. Mark (118 comments.) says:

    11/28/2005 at 2:12 pm

    Not really. These are point releases at most, not really deserving of major structural changes.

    excellent plugin, i’ve been wanting something like this.

    how do you change where the items display?

    Hello,

    Great plug in that gives a second life to forgotten posts.
    What would be great would be the ability to search posts with the same tags (UltimatTagWarrior tagging system)

16. George (6 comments.) says:

    11/30/2005 at 10:40 pm

    How do I move the related entry to the top instead of below the coment form?
17. Brad (1 comments.) says:

    I really wanted this plugin to work on my blog. However, after installing it, this is what I got:

    WordPress database error: [The used table type doesn’t support FULLTEXT indexes]
    SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘The Bush Iraq Strategy’) AS score FROM wp_posts WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘The Bush Iraq Strategy’) and post_status = ‘publish’ and id 162 LIMIT 0,5

    Am I dead in the water?

    I’ll echo the last few commentors: This very page has the related posts above the comments, but the plug-in, with its ad_action hook, only appears below the comment form. How can the related posts display appear at the bottom of the post as you have it?
21. Dayna says:

    1/21/2006 at 12:59 pm

    Does this works in pages as well?
22. Stoyan (1 comments.) says:

    2/13/2006 at 3:38 am

    Very good, thanks!

    I’ve tweked the queries to also add the `post_excerpt` field to the fulltext index and then to use to find similar matches.
23. CG (1 comments.) says:

    6/15/2006 at 2:23 am

    Hi Stoyan, how did you tweak the queries to add post excerpt? If I have technorati tags, is there some way I could have the posts “related”?

    Thanks!

    hi, sorry for my english, i’m french and i don’t speak english

    I try to use your plugin on my website, with Fluid Solution skin.
    But that does not function. I install plugin, but it don’t copy script in my skin (single.php), it’s ok with default skin. can you try to help me please… ?

    to Pariah S. Burke AND Josh :
    i found a way to solve this problem,
    first:remove the code “add_action(‘comment_form’,’related’);” from
    related.php
    second:add “” above the comment form code in
    the single.php file(you can find this file from your current theme files)
    sorry for my poor english.
28. sammychen (2 comments.) says:

    second:add "" above the comment form code in
    the single.php file(you can find this file from your current theme files)
29. Neal (4 comments.) says:

    4/15/2007 at 6:34 pm

    For those of you who still want to move the Related Posts section above the comments, first remove the

    add_action(’comment_form’,’related’);

    from the plugin code. Then add,

    to the single post code in your theme–wherever you want the Related Posts section to show up. Personally, I put mine right below the code for my adsense.
30. Neal (4 comments.) says:

    4/15/2007 at 6:35 pm

    Sorry you should add this,

    to the single post code

    Okay it won’t show up…but with the less than greater than brackets around it insert

    ?php related(5); ?

    into your code.
33. Tom Johnson (1 comments.) says:

    5/22/2007 at 1:34 pm

    I like the ease of the plugin, but the first related post duplicates the post it appears on. Is there a fix around this? This seems like a major bug. A post shouldn’t be related to itself. Help? I did a side-by-side comparison test on my blog of this contextual posts plugin with the wasabi plugin.
34. Mark (386 comments.) says:

    5/22/2007 at 2:40 pm

    Tom,
    No problem. Look for the following line:
    global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $max_related, $post, $RelatedText, $single;

    And add the following after it:
    global $wp_query;
    $temppostid = $wp_query->post->ID;
35. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/1/2007 at 7:56 am

    Hi, Mark,

    I’m really liking the plugin so far, but something I’d like to accomplish is to prevent static pages and tags from showing up in the list. Is there a way to eliminate these from the query that you could offer?

    Thank you for your time!
36. Bob says:

    6/4/2007 at 7:29 pm

    Daniel:
    Here’s how to prevent pages from appearing in the list, at least with WP 2.2. Add the following to the SQL query after post_status = ‘publish’ :
    and post_type = ‘post’

    And a correction to Neal’s comment about adding a call to related directly in a theme’s single.php file. The correct statement to add is:
    <?php if (function_exists(‘related’)) related($post->ID); ?>
37. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/4/2007 at 7:54 pm

    Thank you for the heads-up, Bob. I’ll give the new query a go, and also check my template for the modified line you’re mentioning here as well.

    I really dig this plugin! Thanks Mark!

    I noticed you placed yours in the same location that I did after the post. I’m beginning to wonder if perhaps manual insertion should be stressed more with this plugin as opposed to the automatic insertion it currently has – after the Comments section. It seems to work out better manually.
38. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/4/2007 at 8:02 pm

    Awesome. That totally did the trick! Thank you kindly, Bob.
39. Bob (8 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 8:02 am

    The problem with the automatic insertion is that it only works if the comment form is displayed. It’s possible to make it also work if comments are closed (which would require a change to my theme anyway), but I don’t think WP has any built-in hooks for the case where users have to login to make comments. Also, Neal’s error was passing the number of links to create, but the function really needs the post ID (so it doesn’t display a link to itself). And the call to function_exists allows you to deactivate the plugin without having to edit the theme again.

    I also noticed that the plugin creates bad HTML if there aren’t any related posts; an extra </ul> is created. But I don’t want anything to be displayed if there aren’t any related posts, so I rewrote that portion of the code. Here’s the revised function, with the revised SQL query I posted earlier; otherwise, all the changes I made are after the query:

    
function related($temppostid='') {
global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $max_related, $post, $RelatedText, $single;
if ($single && $post->post_title != "") {
$stuff = addslashes($post->post_title);
$sql = "SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST ('$stuff') AS score FROM ".$table_prefix."posts WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST ('$stuff') and post_status = 'publish' and post_type = 'post' and id $temppostid LIMIT 0,$max_related";
$searches = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
if($searches){
echo "$RelatedText\n";
foreach($searches as $search){
$title = trim(stripslashes($search->post_title));
echo "ID) . "\" rel=\"bookmark\">$title\n";
} //end of foreach loop
echo "\n";
}
}
}

40. Bob says:

    6/5/2007 at 8:10 am

    Blah… Even though I posted with the <code> tag, the site messed-up the code. Give me a few minutes to change all the less than and greater than symbols and try again. It also got rid of the indenting, but I don’t think I can fix that.
41. Bob (8 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 8:12 am

    OK, let’s try posting the function again:
    function related($temppostid=”) {
    global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $max_related, $post, $RelatedText, $single;
    if ($single && $post->post_title != “”) {
    $stuff = addslashes($post->post_title);
    $sql = “SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) AS score FROM “.$table_prefix.”posts WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) and post_status = ‘publish’ and post_type = ‘post’ and id <> $temppostid LIMIT 0,$max_related”;
    $searches = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
    if($searches){
    echo “<div class=\”related_posts\”>$RelatedText<ul>\n”;
    foreach($searches as $search){
    $title = trim(stripslashes($search->post_title));
    echo “<li><a href=\”” . get_permalink($search->ID) . “\” rel=\”bookmark\”>$title</a></li>\n”;
    } //end of foreach loop
    echo “</ul></div>\n”;
    }
    }
    }
42. Mark Ghosh (386 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 8:17 am

    Bob,
    Thanks for your code. I have added that to the post to preserve formatting.
43. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 9:34 am

    Bob,
    I tried the code you suggested above – and it takes care of the XHTML invalid formatting ‘problem’ with the added tag. The problem I have though, is that I lose the ‘No results found.’ display – which I would rather keep for layout consistancy.

    I’m assuming there should be a way to wrap both separately as functions – then running through the main loop to determine which one to echo out? I attempted where I thought an else statement could occur – but the attempts caused errors (been a while since I’ve had a PHP hat on).
44. Bob (8 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 10:29 am

    I prefer not to have the no results. But if you want it, you could keep the original code (with a minor bug that browsers would ignore), or you can try the following UNTESTED code. It’s the part after the SQL query is created:
    $searches = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
    echo “<div class=\”related_posts\”>$RelatedText”;
    if($searches){
    echo “<ul>\n”;
    foreach($searches as $search){
    $title = trim(stripslashes($search->post_title));
    echo “<li><a href=\”” . get_permalink($search->ID) . “\” rel=\”bookmark\”>$title</a></li>\n”;
    } //end of foreach loop
    echo “</ul>”;
    }
    else{
    echo “<br /> <br />No results\n”;
    }
    echo “</div>\n”;
    }
    }
45. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 10:32 am

    I tried something similar to that, but I can see if there’s something different in your placement of the else statement and echoing the div tag, to see if that’s do-able. Otherwise, I’m thinking this would have to be wrapped in two functions.
46. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 11:19 am

    Well, I think this is now officially a perfect plugin! Thanks to Bob for his help! I’ve included the code of my final – to re-include the ‘No Results.’ message if nothing is found.:

    function related($temppostid=”) {
    global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $max_related, $post, $RelatedText, $single;
    if ($single && $post->post_title != “”) {
    $stuff = addslashes($post->post_title);
    $sql = “SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) AS score FROM “.$table_prefix.”posts WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) and post_status = ‘publish’ and post_type = ‘post’ and id $temppostid LIMIT 0,$max_related”;
    $searches = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
    if($searches){
    echo “$RelatedText\n”;
    foreach($searches as $search){
    $title = trim(stripslashes($search->post_title));
    echo “ID) . “\” rel=\”bookmark\”>$title\n”;
    } //end of foreach loop
    echo “\n”;
    } else {
    if ($search_counter $RelatedText\nNo results.\n\n”;
    }
    }
    }
    }
47. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 11:23 am

    Sorry, I had included a comment for the $search++; string, which I wanted to note also appears to work without that line. (Possibly delete the comment above to eliminate confusion.):

    function related($temppostid=”) {
    global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $max_related, $post, $RelatedText, $single;
    if ($single && $post->post_title != “”) {
    $stuff = addslashes($post->post_title);
    $sql = “SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) AS score FROM “.$table_prefix.”posts WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST (‘$stuff’) and post_status = ‘publish’ and post_type = ‘post’ and id $temppostid LIMIT 0,$max_related”;
    $searches = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
    if($searches){
    echo “$RelatedText\n”;
    foreach($searches as $search){
    $title = trim(stripslashes($search->post_title));
    echo “ID) . “\” rel=\”bookmark\”>$title\n”;
    } //end of foreach loop
    echo “\n”;
    } else {
    if ($search_counter $RelatedText\nNo results.\n\n”;
    }
    }
    }
    }
48. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 11:25 am

    Well, this site’s rules don’t appear to like the code. Message me through my site if you’re interested, I guess.
49. Bob (8 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 11:38 am

    You have to change all the < symbols to &lt; (don’t forget the “;”) and > to &gt; then post it.
50. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    6/5/2007 at 11:47 am

    function related($temppostid=”) {

    7/2/2007 at 8:48 pm

    Hey Mark,
    mark I was going through this wordpress plugin looking for a way to move my related post above the comments. And saw in the threads that it was being address. I replaced some the code with commenter 62. Daniels suggested code then I went into the actual single page view to place the function:
    php if (function_exists(’related’)) related($post->ID);
    where I wanted to see my comment displayed and when I accessed a single post, but the area that needes to load “Related Post” loads nothing. Although everything else loads fine. any idea what that could be
55. sean says:

    7/2/2007 at 9:13 pm

    Here is the code for the plugin

56. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    7/2/2007 at 11:32 pm

    Sean,
    It’s difficult to tell what the problem is without a working example provided. The code appears fine, aside from the possibility that you may want to wrap the php line in a div with an id, and style accordingly.
57. sean says:

    7/3/2007 at 1:26 am

    Daniel: I dont know what happened but I deactivated the plugin deleted the file. then I downloaded the file again and uploaded that to the server and added the ? if functions_exists() code again. and it works: But what I did notice was THE WAY THE CODE IS COPIED. the single and double quotes dont seem to copy over correctly. so if anyone else runs into this problem just go in and manually replace the single and double quotes again, that should do the trick.
58. Robin (1 comments.) says:

    7/3/2007 at 12:25 pm

    I’m getting some of the posts as double listed.
59. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    7/4/2007 at 1:13 am

    Sean,
    The problem was probably as you describe it – relating to the double-quotes. It’s a common issue when copying anything from a WordPress rendered page, and should always be double-checked prior to running code.
60. Tom (2 comments.) says:

    7/5/2007 at 5:52 pm

    I’ve installed the plugin, but the text is far too small and almost unnoticeable. Look at this post

    http://nflminute.com/2007/07/0.....odes-down/

    to see what I mean. Any suggestions?
61. Mark Ghosh (386 comments.) says:

    7/5/2007 at 6:42 pm

    You should be able to style the text from the plugin. If you have a style in mind, email me the code and your plugin and I will add it.
62. Tom (2 comments.) says:

    7/5/2007 at 9:45 pm

    Forgive my lack of knowledge. All I’d like to do is make the text bigger, similar in size to other text on the page. Is there a quick fix to do that?

69. Daniel (38 comments.) says:

    10/14/2007 at 11:00 am

    Megos,
    The theme you’re using does not include the appropriate header comments in order to show-up in the Theme Editor. You might want to send a note to that theme author to request including the proper header comments. Otherwise, you’ll have to edit that file in your text editor, and then upload it to your site via FTP. (Save a back-up of your original!)

    Megos,
    Your theme author is linked at the bottom of every page of your Web site, in the footer. The theme author’s Contact page is the following:

    This worked great first time! Thank you.
    I struggled with moving the related posts above the comments, but I’m a noob. Eventually figured it out.
    Good learning lesson for me.

    I’m glad you build such simple-to-use plugin. This is really what I’m looking for, I have tried similar plugins but unfortunately they have the user to enter mysql database which not everyone could handle.

    Thanks again!

    Could somebody post the code for putting the “related posts” somewhere else? I tried the suggestions above, but they don’t work. The text “add_action…” just shows up. Thanks.

Any good related posts plugin can make a big difference in your link building efforts. On more than a handful of situations, I’ve used “related posts” to jumpstart a stagnant blog revival.
