README

The plugin provides a simple related posts functionality with the following features:

• Ability to manually override related posts
• ElasticPress integration

Requirements

Make sure all dependencies have been installed before moving on:

• PHP >= 7.1
• Composer

Install

Via Composer:

$ composer require helick/related-posts

Usage

The plugin exposes a single function that returns a list of post IDs.

$postIds = Helick\RelatedPosts\get(int $postId, array $args = []);

$postId is the ID of the post to get related content for.

$args allows you some control over the posts that are returned:

• int limit: defaults to 10
• array post_types: array of post types to limit results to, defaults to ['post']
• array taxonomies: array of taxonomies to compare against, defaults to ['category']
• array terms: array of WP_Term objects, results will match these terms
• array terms_not_in: array of WP_Term objects, results will not match these terms
• bool ep_integrate: if true then ElasticPress is used to get the results, defaults to defined('EP_VERSION')

Custom post type support

Control supported post types:

add_filter('helick_related_posts_supported_post_types', function (array $postTypes) {
    $postTypes[] = 'your-custom-post-type';

    return $postTypes;
});

Control associated post types:

add_filter('helick_related_posts_associated_post_types', function (array $postTypes) {
    $postTypes[] = 'your-custom-post-type';

    return $postTypes;
});
