On my original post type I would like to add a related item list on the bottom. To do this I will create a view with the related items.

I can fix this on custom post types, but I don't know how to fix this on the original post type.

Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, normally you would create a View of related posts and insert it the Content Template applied to the normal Post type. Do you have a Content Template applied to the Post post type? If not, you could create one and insert the View there.

I'm not sure I understand the problem, though. Are you having trouble creating the View of related Posts, or are you having trouble placing that View somewhere so it displays on every Post? How are posts "related" - are you using post relationships to relate some other custom post type, or are you using taxonomy terms to relate other Posts?

Can you provide more details?

Thanks Christian. I forgot I could create a content template for the normal post type.
