To limit posts to a certain category I would add another line to the database query. Something like AND post_category = 'DVD', this would exclude all other categories. I'm not sure how the database is structured off the top of my head so you would need to find what table and column that info is kept in. Let me know if you need help with that. Another possible solution would be to use a conditional tag like if(is_category('DVD') { //do stuff } Not sure if it would work but it would be easy to try out. For the_title() I would do something similar. Use a database query to match the title with any other posts with the same title. Like WHERE post_title = p.post_title AND p.ID != $post->ID. All you need is to match the titles in the database. Martin,

Hi Curtis,

Would it be possible to
- limit related posts to those from a certain category
- relate posts based on the_title instead of tags
?
