Offsetting Posts

[asherhardtParticipant]

Is there a method to offset the related posts so that it publishes older posts instead of newer?

Hi!

Well, not without a modification to the code. The ordering always uses relevance, then date descending.

If you want to change that, just follow these steps:

1. Open up the wp-content\plugins\related-posts-pro\includes\related_content.class.php file on your server via FTP.

2. Find line 577 which should be this:

ORDER BY relevance DESC, " . $wpdb->posts . ".post_date DESC

3. Change that to:

ORDER BY " . $wpdb->posts . ".post_date ASC

..or, if you still want relevance as primary, but date ascending you can also try:

ORDER BY relevance DESC, " . $wpdb->posts . ".post_date ASC

4. After the change, save the plugin options, so the cache is cleared.

This should very likely do the trick.

Best,
