I'm using this piece of code to show related posts based on the tag of the post you are viewing.
I'd like to modify is a little to exclude the related posts from the loop if they are in the same category of the post you are viewing
Reason for this is i already have a loop to show related posts in the same category, so trying to cut out the duplicates.
<?php
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if ($tags) {
$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
$args=array(
'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'showposts'=>5,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- loop here -->
<?php
endwhile;
}wp_reset_query();
}
?>
Thanks
