5. Displaying Related Blog Posts with Metaobjects

In earlier versions of Eurus Theme, you could only select related posts from within a single blog. In version 8.1 and onward, this limitation is removed. By using Shopify’s metaobject feature, you can display related blog posts from any blog across your store.

🧐 How to Set Up Related Blog Posts with Metaobjects?

Step 1: Add Blog Post Tags

• Go to Content > Blog posts
• Open the blog post you want to use as a related post
• Scroll down to the Tags section
• Add a tag

Step 2: Create a Metaobject

• Go to Content > Metaobjects > Add definition
• Name your metaobject with any name you want (e.g. Related Blog Tags)
• Under the Fields section, click Add field and use the following values:
• Name: Tag name (exactly)
• Type: Single line text
• Value: One value
• Click Add → Save

Step 3: Add Entries to Your Metaobject

• Go to Content > Metaobjects
• Click the metaobject you just created
• Click Add entry
• Add the exact same tags you used in Step 1 (one per entry)

Step 4: Create and Assign Metafields

⭐ Create product metafield (if you want to show related blog posts on Product Pages)

• Go to Settings > Metafields and metaobjects
• Under Metafield definitions, select Products > Add definition
• Name it (e.g., Related Blog Posts)
• Type: Metaobject
• Reference: Choose your created metaobject
• Values: List of entries
• Click Save

After saving, you will get a custom key (e.g., custom.related_blog_posts).
Remember this key – you’ll use it in the next step.

⭐ Create collection metafield (if you want to show related blog posts on Collection Pages)

• Follow the same steps as above (but under Collections)

Step 5: Display Related Blog Posts in the Theme Editor

• Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize (open the Theme Editor)
• Navigate to the Product or Collection template
• Add the Metafield-based Blog Posts section

In the section settings:

• Blog handles – Enter the handles of all blogs that contain the relevant posts (one per line).
  To find a blog handle: Shopify admin → Content > Blog posts > Manage blogs → open a blog → see the handle under “Search engine listing”.
• Related Posts by Metafields – Enter the metafield key created in Step 4 (e.g., custom.related_blog_posts).

This allows you to display any blog post from any blog on your product or collection pages without being restricted to a single blog setup.
