I’m trying to display 5 related posts in the loop, those related posts being posts that share the same taxonomy value. e.g. I have a custom taxonomy set up called venues
thus each post has a venue
taxonomy value assigned to it, so in each post I want to display 5 others posts that share the same taxonomy value (i.e. are at the same venue).
The code I have so far doesn’t work quite right:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$custom_terms = get_terms('venues');
foreach($custom_terms as $custom_term) {
wp_reset_query();
$args = array('post_type' => 'listings',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'venues',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $custom_term->slug,
),
),
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
if($loop->have_posts()) {
while($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="listing-title"><?php the_title(); ?></div>
<?php endwhile;
}
}
?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
It is successfully showing 5 posts, but they are just five posts from the same post type and not 5 posts that share the same taxonomy value in the loop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
