    Hi rmblfish

    That’s because Pages usually don’t have taxonomy support unless you (or a theme or plugin) adds it.

    Can you assign taxonomy terms to pages?

    If so, you can have the widget search related posts for pages by adding support for it in the widget.
    https://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/recipes/#widget_page

    btw:
    consider creating a child theme instead of editing your theme directly – if you upgrade the theme all your modifications will be lost. Or create a plugin with the code above.

    thanx @keesiemeijer
    added plugin category-to-pages-wud (https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-category-to-pages/) also tested this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-category-to-pages/)
    and also added the code to functions.php so i got to choose pages under POST TYPES in widget but still gets the same results as before…
    the code i added from your blog

    // Add the 'page' post type just after the plugin's defaults are set (priority 11).
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'add_widget_related_post_type_page', 11 );
 
function add_widget_related_post_type_page() {
 
    if ( !class_exists( 'Related_Posts_By_Taxonomy_Defaults' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    $defaults = Related_Posts_By_Taxonomy_Defaults::get_instance();
    $defaults->post_types['page'] = __( 'Pages' );
}

    Can you add this to your theme’s functions.php for troubleshooting

    
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_widget_hide_empty', '__return_false' );

    Does it show “No related posts found” or still nothing after adding that?

    That’s strange.

    I’ve installed the Add Category to Pages plugin to see if there are any compatibility issues. It seems to work on my install.

    As you didn’t see the “No related posts found” text it is as if the widget is never called.

    Does your theme have multiple widget areas, and is it added to the correct one?

    Try deactivating all all plugins (except the related and add category to pages plugins) to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    Does it now work as intended or is there still an issue why there are no related posts found?

    For troubleshooting put this in the theme’s functions.php file:

    
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_debug', '__return_true' );

    It will show troubleshoot information (to logged in admins) in the footer of your website if a shortcode was found.

    Post the troubleshoot information here.

    It doesn’t find the category terms assigned to the post.

    What categories does the Page /forskning have?
