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.

Related Posts for WordPress won’t lag your server!

We believe having related posts shouldn’t slow down your website. That’s why Related Posts for WordPress keeps its own tables and does the heavy lifting in the background and when you publish a post. Showing related posts only reads the links stored for a post, offering you quality related posts while keeping your website fast!

Automatically link posts to each other

After activating the plugin, its settings screen offers to analyze your posts and link them to each other based on what we think is related. This runs in the background, which means you can install Related Posts for WordPress on your website that has thousands of posts and create related connections on the fly, without any manual work!

Manually add, edit or remove

Everyone makes mistakes, so do we. That’s why you can easily modify all automatically created related posts. Simply navigate to the post that has incorrect related posts attached to it, select the correct related post and you’re done.

Related posts you add by hand keep their place when the plugin links your posts again.

Shortcode

Related Posts for WordPress has a related post shortcode allowing you to display related posts on any position within your content.

Widget

Related Posts for WordPress has a related post widget allowing you to display related posts in any sidebar you’d like.
