   Hello, currently Corona grabs the Related Posts by TAGS : ) Relations are defined by tags: if post tags match, the post will be displayed as related )

   Is there a way to pull the related posts by CATEGORY instead?

   Thanks in advance

   Hey,
   yes - in related-posts.php replace:
   

   $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
   if ($tags) {
   
        $tag_ids = "";
        foreach ($tags as $tag ) $tag_ids .= $tag->name.",";
        $tag_ids = substr_replace($tag_ids ,"",-1);
        $tag_ids = str_replace(" ", "-",$tag_ids);
   
        if($tag_ids)
        {
        	$my_query = new WP_Query("tag=$tag_ids&showposts=$postcount&ignore_sticky_posts=1&orderby=rand");

   with:
   

   $categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
   $category_ids = '';
   
   foreach ($categories as $category){
   	$category_ids .= $category->cat_ID;
   }
   
   if ($tags) {
   
        if($category_ids)
        {
        	$my_query = new WP_Query("cat=$category_ids&showposts=$postcount&ignore_sticky_posts=1&orderby=rand");

   Hey thanks for the help But..
   When I replace the code as instructed, I get this error:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/........./wp-content/themes/EMSI/includes/related-posts.php on line 105

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks in advance!

   Hi!

   I missed an if-statement. I corrected the code above.
