So line 14 would look like this: <code>$newQuery = "posts_per_page=6&orderby=rand&cat=-3,-6,-8," . $catlist;</code> The number is the ID of that category and you can list as many as you want. The minus in front means you want it excluded. To exclude certain categories from the related posts by authors you would insert "cat=-3,-6,-8" into line 9. It would look like this: <code>$newQuery = "posts_per_page=6&cat=-3,-6,-8&orderby=rand&author=" . $authorPosts;</code> To exclude categories from the related post by tag, you would insert this line AFTER line 13: <code>'cat'=>-3,-6,-8,</code> For all of these, if you instead wanted it to show ONLY certain categories then it would be the same, but list the category IDs without a minus in front. Then it would find posts ONLY in those categories. To exclude certain categories from the related posts by category you would insert the category IDs you want excluded before it calls the post’s category.

So line 14 would look like this:

$newQuery = "posts_per_page=6&orderby=rand&cat=-3,-6,-8," . $catlist;

The number is the ID of that category and you can list as many as you want. The minus in front means you want it excluded.

To exclude certain categories from the related posts by authors you would insert “cat=-3,-6,-8″ into line 9.

It would look like this:

$newQuery = "posts_per_page=6&cat=-3,-6,-8&orderby=rand&author=" . $authorPosts;

To exclude categories from the related post by tag, you would insert this line AFTER line 13:

'cat'=>-3,-6,-8,

For all of these, if you instead wanted it to show ONLY certain categories then it would be the same, but list the category IDs without a minus in front. Then it would find posts ONLY in those categories.

I wanted each post in the cd_release category to show other cd releases on the single.php page and this works perfectly. I tried some plugins but they seemed to be more work finding any documentation. Thanks for sharing this.

Check your custom field value and make sure it looks something like this: < img src="http://path/to/your/thumbnail.jpg" class="alignleft thumbnail" alt="Image Name" / > It sounds like you just put the image URL in the custom field instead of the full image code.
