  Displaying a related posts through shortcode is very useful. But since I’m not familiar with programming, I can’t customize it. Here’s the code:
  
// Related Posts
function related_posts_shortcode( $atts ) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'limit' => '5',
), $atts));

  global $wpdb, $post, $table_prefix;

  if ($post->ID) {
  $retval = '

  ';

  // Get tags
  $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
  $tagsarray = array();

  foreach ($tags as $tag) {
  $tagsarray[] = $tag->term_id;
  }
  $tagslist = implode(',', $tagsarray);
  // Do the query
  $q = "
  SELECT p.*, count(tr.object_id) as count
  FROM $wpdb->term_taxonomy AS tt, $wpdb->term_relationships AS tr, $wpdb->posts AS p
  WHERE tt.taxonomy ='post_tag'
  AND tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id
  AND tr.object_id = p.ID
  AND tt.term_id IN ($tagslist)
  AND p.ID != $post->ID
  AND p.post_status = 'publish'
  AND p.post_date_gmt < NOW()
  GROUP BY tr.object_id
  ORDER BY count DESC, p.post_date_gmt DESC
  LIMIT $limit;";
  $related = $wpdb->get_results($q);

  if ( $related ) {
  foreach($related as $r) {
  $retval .= '

  • ID).'">'.wptexturize($r->post_title).'

  ';}
  }
  else {
  $retval .= '

  • No related posts found

  ';
  }
  $retval .= '

  ';
  return $retval;
  }
  return;
  }
  add_shortcode('related_posts', 'related_posts_shortcode');
  I didn’t make that code; I just copy and paste it from a tutorial.

  Now, let’s say I added a “[related_posts] on my content.
  Then, the 5 related posts displayed like this: (for example)
  1.
  2.
  3.
  4.
  5.

  Now what I want to do is this:
  (Add title like related posts)
  1.
  2.
  3.
  4.
  5.
  (add more texts here)

  Thanks.
