Display posts of same category as post

Hi there,

do you have GeeneateBlocks Pro or just the free version ? As the current post arg is only present in GB Pro.
Without pro it would require some PHP.

Let me know

Ok, with the free version you can add category related posts using the query loop like so.

1. Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_filter('generateblocks_query_loop_args', function ($query_args, $attributes) {
    if (
        !is_admin() && is_single() && 
        !empty($attributes['className']) && 
        strpos($attributes['className'], 'related-category') !== false
    ) {
        $current_post_id = get_the_ID();
        $current_post_categories = get_the_terms($current_post_id, 'category');

        if ($current_post_categories && !is_wp_error($current_post_categories)) {
            $category_ids = wp_list_pluck($current_post_categories, 'term_id');

            if (!empty($category_ids)) {
                $additional_args = array(
                    'category__in' => $category_ids,
                    'post__not_in' => array($current_post_id),
                );

                $query_args = array_merge($query_args, $additional_args);
            }
        }
    }

    return $query_args;
}, 10, 2);

2. set up your query loop parameters so it just has the Post type set to Post, and the number of posts per page set. And no other parameters.

3. select the Grid Block inside your query loop and give it an Advanced > Additional CSS Class of: related-category

You’re welcome
