Hello. I am trying to use this guide to create a related post option at the end of each post:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-related-posts-with-a-thumbnail-without-using-plugins/

I am a coding newb, and already I am stuck, there is no single.php in this theme!

I have made a child theme folder ‘customizr-child’ and made style.css with this in it:

/*
Theme Name: Customizr Child
Theme URI: http://www.learndigitalaudio.com/
Description: Mods
Author: David
Author URI: http://www.learndigitalaudio.com/
Template: customizr
Version: 1.0.0
*/

now i am stuck as to where to insert the code and what what file i should create in my new child theme.

can anyone tell me what file i should be copying across to my child theme directory and EXACTLY where i should paste the code?

MANY THANKS!

You need a functions.php in your child-theme,
(a functions.php is just a file named that way in your child-theme folder which just starts with <?php)
```
add_filter('tc_post_content', 'related_posts');
function related_posts( $_content ){
  echo $_content;
// your code here
}
```
Hope this helps.

Anyway there are a lot of powerful plugins for related posts, if you’re not a developer you might want to use them.

thanks for your input, but i can’t make it work. if you felt like making me a functions.php file with code from the wpbeginner example that worked and pasting it here i would be overjoyed, but of course that is a bit much to ask as I am not paying you!

All the related posts plugins i find are a bloat nightmare, all i want it to do is exactly what this bit of code does, display all the posts with the same tag and a thumbnail next to it. i used to use Microkid’s Related Posts, but it is massively out of date and will cause problems sooner rather than later i am sure.
