ok, it comes down to this bit of the code for functions.php:
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
‘post_type’ => $post_type,
‘post__not_in’ => array($post_id ),
‘taxonomy’ => $taxonomy
) );
With it – the thumbnails of the current post are shown over and over again.
Without it – only one thumb of the current post shows – no related items.
This is the same behavior if I remove the ‘article-category’ part from the
$related_posts_query = related_posts_by_taxonomy( $post->ID, ‘article-category’ );
which replaces the original on line 247 of single.php
$related_posts_query->the_post();
So, I’m clearly no expert but I would say that the query is dodgy… perhaps Pippin will shine a light upon the situation.
Never mind, could be time for that developer I guess …and several beers for me!
