Description
Sometimes you want to point your visitors/readers on other posts covering a specific topic.
You can either have this coded the hard way in your theme or use a plugin which will always show related articles, but what if you only want this to happen sometimes?
This plugin gives you a shortcode to insert in posts where you want to display a number of related posts. They will be shown with headline and date (optional) and can be styled via CSS.
Donations
If you find this plugin to be very useful it would be really kind if you donate a few bucks via PayPal (zahlungen@flomei.de).
Otherwise I really appreciate if you simply spread the word about this plugin or link back to www.flomei.de. π

show_articles_by_keyword.php
to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory or install the plugin from the βPluginsβ menu in the WordPress backend - Activate the plugin through the βPluginsβ menu in WordPress
- You can now use the shortcode [show_articles keyword=X num=Y] where X is the keyword to look for (no quotes needed) and Y is the number of articles to fetch (standard: 5).
- Additional parameters:
showdate
can be set toyes
(default) orno
to show the post date inline with the headline.order
can be set todate
(default) orrand
to order posts either by the post date or randomly. - Note beside: You can also use the shortcode while developing a theme and fill it with dynamically fetched keywords. Have a look at do_shortcode for that (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode).
FAQ
- How can I style the output?
-
Every entry is wrapped in a section-element with the class
abk
. The headline (with or without date) is wrapped in a span-element with the classabk_h
. This way you can easily style the related articles output.
