[Support request] Related/ Popular Posts widget

Hi there,

you can use the WP Show Posts plugin:

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/

Once thats installed – create a new WPSP list, were you can set the number of posts you want displayed, columns etc.
It will provide a shortcode that looks like this:

[wp_show_posts id="123"]

Take a note of the id

Then create a new Hook Element, and in that hook text area add this code with the correct id

[wp_show_posts id="123" settings="taxonomy=category&tax_term=current"]

Set the Hook to: generate_after_content
Check the Execute Shortcodes option.
And set the Display Rules Location to Posts > All posts.

Hi Sam,

Following up pretty late on this topic, but are there any videos to show me how to do this? I downloaded the plugin, but I am not too sure how to use it. I am trying to create a custom homepage that will still pull my latest blog posts.

WP Show Posts has a demo video on the home page – https://wpshowposts.com/

You can watch the video and then ask us if some things are unclear. 😀

Hello. It’s all working until “current”. If i write specific categories there it works well, however whenever i go “current” it just shows random posts from all categories. Any ideas? Thanks.
