A simple sidebar widget to include a custom number of posts from the same category as the current post.
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 Random Related Posts version 1.0 as active, updated 15y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.1.
The plugin provides a sidebar widget with customisable title and number of related posts to display.
The widget will display a random list of x number of posts ( selected in widget options ) together with a small tag including the publish date and author.
If used outside of a specific category the widget will default to all categories, whilst still displaying the selected number of random posts.
