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

- Ability to manually override related posts
- [ElasticPress](https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress) integration

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

[](#requirements)

Make sure all dependencies have been installed before moving on:

- [PHP](http://php.net/manual/en/install.php) >= 7.1
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer:

```
$ composer require helick/related-posts
```

Usage
-----

[](#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

[](#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;
});
```
