A simple script that can be used to pull related-type posts for a WordPress blog post. The related aspect is based on the fist tag assigned to the post. The script will return at most 5 other posts from the site that also include the first tag.
<?php $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); if ($tags) { $first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id; $select = array( 'tag__in' => array($tags[0]->term_id), 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID), 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'caller_get_posts' => 1 ); $tag = get_tag($first_tag); $tag_query = new WP_Query($select); if( $tag_query->have_posts() ) { echo "<ul>"; while ($tag_query->have_posts()) : $tag_query->the_post(); ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </li> <?php endwhile; echo "</ul>"; } wp_reset_query(); } ?>
