I would like to display related articles, i.e. articles from the same category. Can I set this dynamically and add it to the post template? If so, how? I can’t find a setting in Looper to query my own category…

Hello @JanWae,

Thanks for writing to us.

You can use Looper and set the Looper provider as a query string, and you may use this query string to get the related posts.

 category_name={{dc:term:slug}}&post_type=YOUR_POST_TYPE&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__in%5B0%5D={{dc:post:id}}

Hello @prakash_s,
thank you very much for the suggestion.
When I use the query like this:
category_name={{dc:term:slug}}&post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__in%5B0%5D={{dc:post:id}}

I get exactly one article. Namely, the current one that is also displayed. What am I doing wrong?

Hello @JanWae,

I am sorry for the confusion. I would suggest you please add this query string and recheck it.

category={{dc:term:slug}}&post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__not_in%5B0%5D={{dc:post:id}} 

Hope it helps
Thanks

I think that’s a transmission error. There were still HEX characters in your query.

This seems to work:
category_name={{dc:term:slug}}&post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&offset=0&ignore_sticky_posts=1&post__not_in[0]={{dc:post:id}}

Hello @JanWae,

Glad that it is working fine.

Thanks
