Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records External Related Posts version 1.2.1 as active, updated 14y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.2.

Overview

About this plugin

** This plugin now works! ** It broke shortly after I originally uploaded it last year. People are still downloading it, so I decided to make it work.

I revamped it and made it totally compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

External Related Posts takes the category, tags or custom taxonomy from your post (or custom post type) and searches Google Blog Search for related posts. External Related Posts then adds a link to that blog to your post and pings them, letting them know you made a relevant post on their subject.
