H2 exclude Related Posts on a given post page when defined in Child Theme

Resolved

(@tathros)

What a great plug-in! Thank you so much!

I only have one question: I added the code to my function.php of my Child Theme and that works perfectly. However, there is one post, where I do not want to show the “Related Posts” section. How would I do that? Thanks!

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_related_posts_after_post_content' );
function add_related_posts_after_post_content( $content ) {
 
    //check if it's a single post page.
    if ( is_single() ) {
 
        // check if we're inside the main loop
        if ( in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
 
            // add your own attributes here (between the brackets [ ... ])
            $shortcode = '[related_posts_by_tax posts_per_page="4" related_posts_by_tax title="Related Articles"]';
 
            // add the shortcode after the content
            $content = $content . $shortcode;
        }
    }
 
    return $content;
}

Hi tathros

You can use the WP function is_single() with a post ID to exclude the post.

Something like this


add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_related_posts_after_post_content' );
function add_related_posts_after_post_content( $content ) {
 
    //check if it's a single post page.
    if ( is_single() && ! is_single( 9419 ) ) {
 
        // check if we're inside the main loop
        if ( in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
 
            // add your own attributes here (between the brackets [ ... ])
            $shortcode = '[related_posts_by_tax posts_per_page="4" related_posts_by_tax title="Related Articles"]';
 
            // add the shortcode after the content
            $content = $content . $shortcode;
        }
    }
 
    return $content;
}

See this line. I’ve added the post ID 9419 so the related posts are not displayed there.


if ( is_single() && ! is_single( 9419 ) ) {

If I may ask one follow up question: If I have another post that I want to exclude as well, how would I modify this line?

if ( is_single() && ! is_single( 9419 ) ) {

Thanks a lot!

Try it with something like this:


add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_related_posts_after_post_content' );
function add_related_posts_after_post_content( $content ) {

    // Exclude related posts
    $exclude = array(
        9419,
        9420,
        9421,
    );
 
    //check if it's a single post page.
    if ( is_single() && ! is_single( $exclude ) ) {
 
        // check if we're inside the main loop
        if ( in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
 
            // add your own attributes here (between the brackets [ ... ])
            $shortcode = '[related_posts_by_tax posts_per_page="4" related_posts_by_tax title="Related Articles"]';
 
            // add the shortcode after the content
            $content = $content . $shortcode;
        }
    }
 
    return $content;
}

It doesn’t show related posts in single post 9419, 9420 and 9421. You can add post ids separated by a comma.

Hello and thanks for your answer. However, what I meant was how to exclude the display of Related Posts on another post. In your first answer (which worked great), this line

if ( is_single() && ! is_single( 9419 ) ) {

caused Related Posts not be shown on post #9419. My question now was, if I wanted to excluded the display of RP on another post, how could I specify that?

Thanks much!
