   Hi,
   I'm totally new to Wordpress so what i'm about to say is probably something I have overlooked but for the life of me i cannot get it to work.

   On your demo site page: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/shoutbox/2011/02/17/aenean-vulputate-eleifend-tellus-aenean-leo-ligula/,
   there is a row of boxes under the post called 'related posts'.
   I have tried to reproduce this on the following page: http://www.britpic.co.uk/2012/08/05/wheat-field-at-sunset/.

   How do you do this?
   Is this a shortcode which is added into the post? If it is i tried the shortcode widget on the above page but it shows:
   : Widget class not found. Make sure this widget exists and the class name is correct.

   Could you please tell me where I am going wrong.

   Thank you for your time
   Steve

   I think you need to tag your posts before they can show up as related. If they don't have the same tag they can't be "related".
   It's not a widget.

   Yes exactly - the related posts query can be found in includes/related-posts.php:

   $my_query = new WP_Query("tag=$tag_ids&showposts=$postcount&ignore_sticky_posts=1&orderby=rand");

   It searches for posts which share one or more tags and picks some of them - the date is not important random posts will be used.

   Thank you for your replies rumblefish and Dude,
   I took your advice and added one tag 'north west gallery' to the posts on the link below, plus 'north west gallery' in the text field provided:
   http://www.britpic.co.uk/category/north-west-gallery/

   but the related post still doesn't show... sorry guys but what am i doing wrong :(

   It's ok guys I've managed to sought it. I read another post where a member was having a similar problem. It required me using more than one tag, then it works.

   Thank you for your time.

   Hey Steve,

   Glad you have it worked out now. I didn't realize it had issues when only one tag so thanks for the additional note on that :)

   Regards,

   Devin
