Related Posts by category code

Hey there,

I want to change the related articles from currently (same or similiar tags) to new (same category) …

I did find a related_posts.php in my theme-editor but don’t really know how to change it – I tried several things but nothing really worked …

I would really appreciate some help on this! Thank you in advance!!

That’s the code:

<?php
$theme_settings = korra_theme_settings();

// get current post tags
$tags_obj = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if( !$tags_obj ){ return; }

$tags = array();
foreach( $tags_obj as $term ){
	$tags[] = $term->term_id;
}

$tax_query = array(
	array(
		'taxonomy' => 'post_format'
		,'field' => 'slug'
		,'terms' => array('post-format-link','post-format-aside','post-format-status','post-format-quote')
		,'operator' => 'NOT IN'
	)
);

$args=array(
	'tag__in' => $tags
	,'post__not_in' => array($post->ID)
	,'posts_per_page' => 4
	,'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1
	,'orderby' => 'rand'
	,'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id' // contain featured image
	,'tax_query' => $tax_query
);

$query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $query->have_posts() ):

?>

<h2 class="description-heading--large">
	<?php echo esc_html( $theme_settings['post_related_title'] ); ?>
</h2>

<div class="loop-container loop-container--style-related">
<?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();

	get_template_part( 'loop_item', 'related' );

endwhile; ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
