Related Posts are showing up on http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/late-spring-garden-chores-2/ which uses single.php. They are not showing up on http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/blog/ which uses page_blog.php. Any ideas on why this is happening?
http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/blog/Thanks for the reply. A plugin: http://www.relatedpostsforwp.com
You need to hook in the related posts using the shortcode or template tag in a custom function using the blog page conditional tag unless the plugin settings enable you to display on the blog page template.
I would ask the plugin author for the template tag or use the shortcode in a custom function

Is it the evil 'Blog' template that is messing this up??? You can see on http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/late-spring-garden-chores-2/ the You May Also Like is on there twice. But on http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/blog/ which uses Blog template there is no You May...
Created the custom blog template and the same result. Ughh. I am using the enterprise-pro child theme and I just do not understand while this will not work. Am I approaching this the wrong way? What I want is a Blog page that shows the most recent post with the same formatting as if you were looking at any of the other posts by themselves.
Looks like I might be closer. I can echo text in the selected area, but I cannot execute the short code
\\<?php
echo "Hello world!";
?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[manual_related_posts]' ); ?>Will investigate further.
Are you referring to the blog page template conditional not working?
I do not have any 'conditional' set up yet. If I look at a single post using single.php, the hook is executed and it all works fine. It is when the page_blog.php is called it does not show up.
You wouldn't display related posts on the blog page as its a archive page listing posts, you would display them after single posts.
It won't work on the blog page unless the plugin includes a widget.
The reason it won't work is because which posts are related when there's a list of posts.
As you can see on this page http://www.mt2.sohtest.com/blog/ the blog page is set to only show one post (the most recent). Am I trying to do the impossible?
Should I be doing this by adding custom fields to the Post entry screen?
