WP: 6. Related post loop by excluding the current post in single.php

  

Today I ran into a problem, I need to implement a related post on the blog detail page and found this solution.

And nonetheless, It's better to fix the thing with some bunch of code rather than uploading one more bulky plugin on your website that will end up making your site heavy.

Just follow the steps below and avoid heading up into any malicious or bulky plugin for this particular problem from now on forever.

Step 1: Get the id of current post in starting of single.php like following

<?php $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>


Step 1: Now in your related post query add the following
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post__not_in'   => array( $do_not_duplicate ),
'order' => 'ASC',
);
$related_query = new WP_Query($args);              
while ( $related_query->have_posts() ): $related_query->the_post();
?>



Now Cheers !😊

Prompt Engineering with OpenAI ChatGPT

Prompt Engineering: A Simple Guide to Better Results Many people use AI with vague prompts and hope for the best. Something like: "Write a postmortem update about yesterday's outage." often produces inconsistent results. Instead of playing Prompt Roulette , use a structured approach. A Better Workflow 1. Contract – Define what success looks like. Ask: What must be included? 2. Scaffold – Use a reusable template. For example: Summary Impact Timeline Known Facts 3. Levers – Change only one thing at a time: Add more detail Shorten the response Change the tone Adjust the audience 4. Loop – Review and improve: Generate → Review → Find one issue → Improve the prompt → Run again.

Examples – Optional style or format sa...
