Oh I forgot to mention that my settings don’t include a limit on how far back to search through posts:
$defaults = array(
'post_types' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'order' => 'DESC',
<strong>'fields' => '', 'limit_posts' => -1, 'limit_year' => '',</strong>
'limit_month' => '', 'orderby' => 'post_date',
'exclude_terms' => '', 'include_terms' => '', 'exclude_posts' => '',
'post_thumbnail' => '', 'related' => true,
);
Did you put this code in your functions.php file?
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-percentagenumber-of-related-terms-in-common?replies=40#post-7022620
Try this code for the percentage, it’s less expensive. Remove the code you have now first.
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy', 'rpbt_add_percentage', 10, 4 );
/**
* Adds percentage to related post objects.
*/
function rpbt_add_percentage( $related_posts, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {
$related_posts = array_reverse( $related_posts );
$terms = count( $args['related_terms'] );
$order = array();
foreach ( $related_posts as $key => $post ) {
$related_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomies, array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
$related_terms = count( $related_terms );
$percentage = 0;
if ( isset( $post->termcount ) ) {
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->termcount / $related_terms ) * 100 ) );
if ( $terms > $related_terms ) {
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->termcount / $terms ) * 100 ) );
}
}
$order[ $key ] = $percentage;
$related_posts[ $key ]->percentage = $percentage;
}
// sort the posts by percentage
array_multisort( $order, SORT_DESC, $related_posts );
return $related_posts;
}
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'rpbt_add_in_common_percentage', 10, 3 );
/**
* Adds the percentage to thumbnail captions.
*/
function rpbt_add_in_common_percentage( $caption, $post, $args ) {
if ( isset( $post->percentage ) ) {
$caption .= ' (' . $post->percentage . '%)' ;
}
return $caption;
}
This is the code I had in there, I’ve replaced it with the one you sent me just now.. let me see if it works..
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'rpbt_add_in_common_percentage', 10, 3 );
/**
* Adds the percentage to thumbnail captions.
*/
function rpbt_add_in_common_percentage( $caption, $post, $args ) {
if ( isset( $post->percentage ) ) {
$caption .= ' (' . $post->percentage . '%)' ;
}
return $caption;
}
This should also be removed. (should be in your theme’s functions.php file as well)
/**

*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy', 'rpbt_set_taxonomies_global', 10, 4 );
/**

*/
function rpbt_set_taxonomies_global( $related_posts, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {
if ( 1 === count( $taxonomies ) ) {
// The query for the post terms is already cached for a single taxonomy.
$terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, $taxonomies[0] );
} else {
// Not a cached query for multiple taxonomies.
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post_id, $taxonomies, array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
}
if ( is_wp_error( $terms ) || empty( $terms ) ) {
return $related_posts;
}
$related_posts = array_reverse( $related_posts );
$terms = count( $terms );
$order = array();
foreach ( $related_posts as $key => $post ) {
$related_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomies, array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
$related_terms = count( $related_terms );
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->score[0] / $related_terms ) * 100 ) );
if ( $terms > $related_terms ) {
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->score[0] / $terms ) * 100 ) );
}
$order[ $key ] = $percentage;
$related_posts[ $key ]->percentage = $percentage;
}
// sort the posts by percentage
array_multisort( $order, SORT_DESC, $related_posts );
return $related_posts;
}
I’m sorry, I’m confused. Which code should I have in functions.php?
This code:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/timeout-problem-maybe?replies=6#post-7438324
This is the code I had in there, I’ve replaced it with the one you sent me just now.. let me see if it works..
That was only a partial part of the code that was already in there.
I’ve replaced the code (sorry about the copy and paste error, that was my fault).
I tested it again and it’s still not showing me older posts that are 100% matches.. here’s an example:
Post 1 (test post) and post 2 have the same two terms and only those terms so they should match 100%. You can see one is matched on one page, but not the other due to the fact (I think?) post 2 is from last year, so it doesn’t seem to search that far back for a match.
Shouldn’t Post 2 show up as related in the sidebar to the test post? It’s not there, despite it being a 100% match.
I hope that wasn’t too confusing!
No, it isn’t. I’ve never used that filter because I’ve never wanted to limit the plugin that way.
Ok, I think I know why it didn’t return the correct posts.
Remove the old code and try it with this:
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_widget_args', 'rpbt_return_all_posts', 10, 2 );
function rpbt_return_all_posts( $args, $instance ) {
$args['_posts_per_page'] = $args['posts_per_page'];
$args['posts_per_page'] = -1;
return $args;
}
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy', 'rpbt_add_percentage', 10, 4 );
/**
* Adds percentage to related post objects.
*/
function rpbt_add_percentage( $related_posts, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {
$related_posts = array_reverse( $related_posts );
$terms = count( $args['related_terms'] );
$order = array();
foreach ( $related_posts as $key => $post ) {
$related_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomies, array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
$related_terms = count( $related_terms );
$percentage = 0;
if ( isset( $post->termcount ) ) {
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->termcount / $related_terms ) * 100 ) );
if ( $terms > $related_terms ) {
$percentage = round( ( ( $post->termcount / $terms ) * 100 ) );
}
}
$order[ $key ] = $percentage;
$related_posts[ $key ]->percentage = $percentage;
}
// sort the posts by percentage
array_multisort( $order, SORT_DESC, $related_posts );
if ( isset( $args['_posts_per_page'] ) ) {
$related_posts = array_slice( $related_posts, 0, $args['_posts_per_page'] );
}
return $related_posts;
}
/**
* Filter used by the Related Posts by Taxonomy plugin.
*/
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'rpbt_add_in_common_percentage', 10, 3 );
/**

*/
function rpbt_add_in_common_percentage( $caption, $post, $args ) {
if ( isset( $post->percentage ) ) {
$caption .= ' (' . $post->percentage . '%)' ;
}
return $caption;
}
Did you forget something in there? Because this code broke my site. It returned a blank white page and nothing loaded.
Can you paste and submit the contents from your functions.php file in a pastebin and post a link to it here.
http://pastebin.com/
Sure. Here it is: http://pastebin.com/5Q9m99W9
I’m sure I messed up something due to my copying and pasting over and over..
Add this
/**
above this
* Modify Admin Post Navigation to allow and disallow certain post statuses from being navigated.
That did not seem to work 🙁
