Related articles in Blog Article Page in Craft Theme

Store Design
, ,

Topic summary

Goal: add a “related articles” widget on article pages in the Craft theme. Current limitation: the theme only offers a blog post section showing the latest 3 articles, not contextually related ones.

Proposed solutions:

  • Customization with Liquid and metafields: If comfortable with Liquid (Shopify’s templating language), create metafields on articles to store related article references (e.g., IDs/handles) and update the article template to render those entries as a related list.
  • App option: Use an app such as “Related Blog Posts Pro” to automate related article display. Pricing/free status not specified.

Notes:

  • No built-in section for related articles was identified in the theme.
  • The request mentioned a preference for a small customization or a free app; the reply provided one coding approach and one app suggestion.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing; no confirmation of implementation or chosen approach.

Hi,

I am looking to add related articles widget on article pages. However, I do not see any default section which can allow me to do this. I can only see a blog post section which gives latest 3 articles rather than related articles

Is there a small customization that I can do to enable this or a free App which can easily help me do this?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,

Rishabh
