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 !😊

C++: 7. Inheritance

In C++, inheritance is a process in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of its parent object automatically. In such way, you can reuse, extend or modify the attributes and behaviors which are defined in other class. In C++, the class which inherits the members of another class is called derived class and the class whose members are inherited is called base class. The derived class is the specialized class for the base class. Single Level Inheritance When one class inherits another class, it is known as single level inheritance. Example:-  #include <iostream>   using namespace std;    class Account {      public:      float salary = 60000;     };      class Programmer: public Account {      public:      float bonus = 5000;        };        int main(void) {   ...

Py: 2. Python Fundamentals

 Variable:-  Variable is a name that is used to refer to memory location. In Python, we don't need to specify the type of variable because Python is smart enough to get variable type.  Variable names can be any length can have uppercase, lowercase (A to Z, a to z), the digit (0-9), and underscore character(_). Syntax:-  num= 345 name= "mohit" Variable Types:- Number (Int, Float) Sting Boolean Get the Type of the variable:- x = 5 y = "John" print(type(x)) print(type(y)) Output:-  <class 'int'> <class 'str'> Operators:-  The operator can be defined as a symbol which is responsible for a particular operation between two operands. Python provides a variety of operators, which are described as follows. Arithmetic Operators:-  Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then − + Addition Adds values on either side of the operator. a + b = 30 - Subtraction Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand. a – b = -10 * Multiplicat...
