I am having problems grabbing related posts by tag from all post types. I am using the following code below:
<?php
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if ($tags) {
echo 'Related Posts';
$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
$args=array(
'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'showposts'=>5,
'caller_get_posts'=>1,
'post_type' => array('food','travel')
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<ul>';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php
endwhile;
echo '</ul>';
}
}
?>
It does not return the correct posts but displays the latest posts instead. I've checked a dozen times on the WP documentation and my syntax is correct.
If this is a bug, does someone out there has a patch for this? Or another option is if you can share an SQL
query approach.
Disable all plugins. Look in plugin files for add_action('pre_get_posts',...
This action sometimes replaces $my_query->query_vars['post_type']
with "any".
To me it was Sticky Custom Post Types
plugin.
