How to highlight the current post in the current category post list in Elementor
This tutorial will teach you how to filter the posts in the list using the current post category. That way your post list will display ONLY the posts of the same category as the one that you are currently viewing.
Then, we will include the current post in that list. That's something that is missing in the 'Related Posts' widget in Elementor!
And lastly, we will highlight that current post in the list using a custom CSS class.
No paid plugins, just PHP and CSS!
First, use a 'Posts' widget on your Single Post template if you are using Elementor Pro.
Then assing a custom CSS class to it and a custom Query ID.
We will then add a bit of custom PHP code to our Code Snippets plugin. Don't worry, you can just copy and paste this code!
And in the end, we can go to our custom CSS and style the assigned CSS class to our current post in the list in order to highlight it.
No PHP knowledge is required! We are using a free Code Snippet plugin to add the PHP code.
