I’m having a similar problem.

The “Related Posts” shown for a post in the backend of WordPress are more or less a perfect match, but looking at the post itself (ie at the front end) I have different, less well-matched, posts and it’s the same 6 related posts appearing on all blog posts.

For example:

http://www.stravaiging.com/art-design/calton-hill-and-the-scottish-national-portrait-gallery/

http://www.stravaiging.com/edinburgh/the-royal-botanic-garden-edinburgh/

http://www.stravaiging.com/edinburgh/a-rooftop-view-of-edinburgh/

I’m not using a caching plugin, and am using a custom template:

<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>

<div class="row brown">
<div class="block-heading2 font30 font-white">Related pages</div>
	<div class="column grid_12">
        <?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
                <?php
                    $img = '';
                    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
                        $img = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail',  array( 'title' => $title, 'alt' => $title ) );
                    }
                    else {
                        $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image',  'numberposts' => 1 ) );

                        if ( count( $attachments ) > 0 ) {
                            $img = array_shift( $attachments );
                            $img = wp_get_attachment_image( $img->ID, 'related-thumbnail', true );
                        }
                    }

                    $extra_class = '';
                    if ( $img == '' ) {
                        $img         = '<img src="http://www.domain.com/noimage-150x150.jpg">';
                    }
                ?>
<div class="column grid_2">
<div class="block150 orange shadow-half">
<div class="block-link">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<div class="block-link-container">
<div class="block-inner150">
<?php echo $img; ?>
</div>
<div class="block-inner150">
<div class="block-heading-centre font20 font-white link-white">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>

        <?php endwhile; ?>

    <div style="clear: both"></div>
	</div>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

Any ideas why this is happening?
