Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Related Links
<?php related_links(); ?>
How can I modify the output of the link list?
You need to use the get_related_links() function. A simple example that shows a list with all link names and the type of link:
<?php $related_links = get_related_links(); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($related_links as $link): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $link['url']; ?>"><?php echo $link['type']; ?>: <?php echo $link['title']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
What are the properties returned by the `get_related_links()` function?
The get_related_links() returns an array containing every related link. when you loop through this array every link consists of another array with the following keys:
key id: equals to $post->ID or null for custom links
key url: equals to get_permalink() or the manually entered url of a custom link
key title: equals to $post->post_title or the manually entered title of a custom link
key type: the $post->post_type or null for custom links
How do I only show the links for a certain post_type in my theme?
Set the $post_type in get_related_links($post_type) to 'post', 'page' or any custom post-type. A simple example that show a list of links:
<?php $related_links = get_related_links('page'); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($related_links as $link): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $link['url']; ?>"><?php echo $link['type']; ?>: <?php echo $link['title']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
How do I show the related links of another post (not the current one)?
Set the $post_id in get_related_links(null, $post_id) to the id of the post. A simple example that show a list of links:
<?php $related_links = get_related_links(null, 1); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($related_links as $link): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $link['url']; ?>"><?php echo $link['type']; ?>: <?php echo $link['title']; ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
How to prevent a PHP error when the plugin is not activated?
Put the get_related_links() function or your whole code into an if clause. Like this your theme will still work even if the plugin is deactivated.
<?php if(function_exists('get_related_links')) : ?>
<?php $related_links = get_related_links(); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($related_links as $link): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $link['url']; ?>"><?php echo $link['type']; ?>: <?php echo $link['title']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<ul>
