Editing Related Posts

Hello barbellfocus,

for this you will have to edit the core theme files. Please note that we don’t provide free support for theme customizations.

But I can give you some tips:

1.) The thumbnails for related posts are the same as for the “MH Custom Posts” widget. You can find them in functions.php as:

add_image_size('cp_small', 70, 53, true);

You can either modify that or add a new thumbnail which is supposed to be used for related posts. After you have added new thumbnails or modified existing ones, you will have to regenerate your thumbnails. More Information:

2.) You can change the title of the related posts box in functions.php and there you can also modify the code to contain the post title. The function is called mh_related() and starts at line 330. More Information:

3.) Before you make these changes, I recommend you create a child theme first, otherwise your changes will be lost after theme updates:

To make all these changes, you will need at least basic HTML, CSS and PHP skills. If you are unsure how to do it, I recommend you use a plugin for the related posts instead. There are several plugins for related posts out there. 😉
