Edit code for related posts

    Hi,
    I have a theme with its own related posts code at the end of each post. It gets related posts by tags, but actually I would like to EXCLUDE 2 TAGS.

    in single.php I found the code:

    <?php $tags = get_the_tags(); ?>
				<?php if($tags): ?>
				<?php $related = get_related_posts($post->ID, $tags); ?>
				<?php if($related->have_posts() && $related->found_posts >= 1 && get_option('reedwan_related') == 'On'): ?>

    It should not be too difficult but can’t figure it out. Any help?

    Thanks

    get_related_posts() is not a native WordPress function, you’d have to find it and modify it somehow, preferrably through a child theme or overwriting it if the developer made the function pluggable.

    Thanks, I found out that function. I think we might do something around the tag__in

    Ok, change this:

    if($tags) {
        foreach($tags as $tag) {
               $tagsA[] = $tag->term_id;
        }
}

    To:

    if($tags) {
        foreach($tags as $tag) {
               if($tag->term_id != 'Tag to exclude 1' && $tag->term_id != 'Tag to exclude 2') $tagsA[] = $tag->term_id;
        }
}

    I really do recommend extending this function, writing your own and calling that or otherwise not hacking it directly.

    Thanks,
    but it doesn’t look like it’s excluding those tags…

    Example: There are 2 posts with only one same tag (spotlight), all others tags are different. But still they are showing in the related posts.

    Maybe I’m doing something wrong…

    Thanks
