3rd List possible

    Is it possible to add another list, a 3rd list to the already “double list” option?
    I would not mind including it myself, just not sure where to start… Are there any shortcodes or php snippets available?

    Thank you, it’s a great plugin.

    Hi there,

    I’m not sure what you mean by the “double list” option? Can you send me a screenshot of what you’re referring to exactly?

    Hi Brecht,

    thanks for the quick response.
    Indeed my question is kinda nonsense; I mixed it with another Plugin I’ve been trying out…

    The question I’m having, I’d like to make 3 separate related sections, based on the main categories.

    Cat 01 – > All related to this Category show up here
    Cat 02 – > All related to this Category show up here
    Cat 03 – > All related to this Category show up here

    Is there any php with what I can check against the main categories for each related article? Speaking of frontend only, does not need to be separate forms in the backend.

    Thanks for your help

    I’m afraid we don’t have an easy way to achieve that at the moment.

    Technically the crp_output_list plugin hook can be used to alter the output of the widget. But you would have to reconstruct it yourself, basically.

    The code in the custom-related-posts/helpers/output.php file could be referenced for that.

    Thank you, that helped me a lot and I’ve been able to get a working code within the source file of your plugin.
    Do you see any way of overwriting the function “public function output_relation( $relation ) {” from functions.php?

    I’ve tried it but when I use it with “public” I’m getting critical WP errors, without it the overwrite won’t take effect.

    Do you see a way to “hook” onto this function via functions.php?

    title=”‘. get_cat_name( $postcat[0]->cat_ID, ‘category’ ) . ‘ – ‘ . $relation[‘title’] .'”

    Basically I’ve ended up by implementing the parent-category names as prefix as alt title tag in the <div>. When someone hovers over the relational link; the “PARENT CAT – Article Title Name” shows up. It’s not what I’d need but might be a good compromise.

    We have the crp_output_list_item plugin hook in place that does exactly that.

    You can find some example code here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/display-the-date-and-category-of-the-post/
