[Support request] Getting Critical Error while Adding Related Post Element

[Rohit]

Hello I want to add related Post with help of Elements in my website, but getting critical error and also blog design is mashup.

I’m following this tutorial

Hi there,

i can’t debug the issues from another users site tutorial.

But this is the original code i wrote for displaying a related WP Show Posts list in your Hook Element:

<div class="wpsp-related-posts  grid-container">
    <h2>Related Posts</h2>
<?php
if ( is_single() ) {
    $cats =  get_the_category();
    $cat = $cats[0];
} else {
    $cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
}

$cat_slug = $cat->slug;
$list = get_page_by_title( 'related', 'OBJECT', 'wp_show_posts' );

if ( function_exists( 'wpsp_display' ) && is_object( $list ) ) {
	wpsp_display( $list->ID, 'tax_term="' . $cat_slug . '"' );
}
?>
</div>

And this blog post from the site it was orginally added to explains how – see Related Posts:

MAIN THING TO NOTE. You don’t need to add the WPSP ID to the code above. You just need a WPSP List titled: related

Hi Rohit,

Can you show us the settings of the Hook Element you’ve placed David’s on?

Perhaps its missing a display rule location or it’s not hooked to the correct hook.

Let us know. 🙂

Show Related post Title only, but related post not visible.

[Elvin]

Do you have WP Show Posts plugin installed and activated?

That is needed to make wpsp_display() function run. Can you check and confirm?

[Rohit]

it is possible to add without plugin?

[Elvin]

it is possible to add without plugin?

It’s not possible to make it run without the plugin, unfortunately.

wpsp_display() is a function taken from the plugin.
