WP Related Posts
================

[](#wp-related-posts)

WordPress related posts helper class to fetch related posts based on post's taxonomies.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- WordPress 5.1+.
- PHP 5.6+.
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) for managing PHP dependencies.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, you'll need to open your command line tool and change directories to your theme folder.

```
cd path/to/wp-content/themes/
```

Then, use Composer to install the package.

```
composer require ernilambar/wp-related-posts
```

Assuming you're not already including the Composer autoload file for your theme and are shipping this as part of your theme package, you'll want something like the following bit of code in your theme's `functions.php` to autoload this package (and any others).

The Composer autoload file will automatically load up the package for you and make its code available for you to use.

```
if ( file_exists( get_parent_theme_file_path( 'vendor/autoload.php' ) ) ) {
  require_once get_parent_theme_file_path( 'vendor/autoload.php' );
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can fetch related post using `posts` method.

```
use Nilambar\WPRelatedPosts\RelatedPosts;

$args = array(
  'number'     => 3,
  'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag' ),
);

$related_posts = RelatedPosts::posts( get_the_ID(), $args );
```
