Might consider using something like this in your theme template that displays posts–for each category of that post i.e. related, display 5 posts in that category, excluding the single post.
<?php
$categories = get_the_category();
if ($categories) {
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$cat = $category->cat_ID;
$args=array(
'cat' => $cat,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page'=>5,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<h2>More Posts from '. $category->category_description . '</h2>';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
endwhile;
} //if ($my_query)
} //foreach ($categories
} //if ($categories)
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
That’s really useful, Michael, thank you.
