About this plugin
This plugin has been retired. 4 is the final release.
4 adds a CSV export of your followed posts data, so you can take it with you, plus tools to delete that data or remove the plugin cleanly. Export anything you want to keep before you remove it.
Existing installs will keep working, but there will be no further updates or support. For content recommendations, I suggest one of my other plugins instead:
- Contextual Related Posts recommends posts based on title and content relevance.
- Top 10 tracks page views and displays your most popular posts.
Both are actively developed and cover the same goal of keeping visitors on your site.
Have you seen Amazon’s product pages? Amazon is a great example of visitor retention through recommendations. All of Amazon’s pages have a “Customers who viewed this item also viewed”.
And how many times have you clicked those links? I know I have!
Now you can implement the same feature on your WordPress blog. WebberZone Followed Posts let’s you show “Readers who viewed this page, also viewed” links on your page.
The plugin tracks the pages, posts and custom post types that visitors click through from the current post. You can then display these followed posts automatically at the bottom of your posts, using a shortcode or via the inbuilt widget.
If you’re looking for a plugin that displays posts related to the content, look no further than Contextual Related Posts.
Key features
- Automatic: The plugin will start displaying visited posts on your posts and pages automatically after the content when you activate the plugin
