WordPress Related Posts Plugin

WordPress Related Posts Plugin generates related posts via the WordPress tags. It then adds the related posts to a feed which can, among things, be displayed at the bottom of all your posts. It will help keep people on your site for longer, and get more of your content viewed.
Installation and Usage:
- Upload the WPRP folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Place <?php wp_related_posts(); ?> in your templates
- Navigate to Manage Panel > Setting > WordPress Related Posts to configure plugin output.
Download: WordPress Related Posts

I think it is better than All in One SEO.
They are types
that’s a great plugin, it can show the related posts in your page, and activate the reader to read more….
Thanks for share, back after taste.
Place in your templates
exactly how this is done?
edit single.php,
find the_content(); function,
paste <?php wp_related_posts(); ?> after it.
Hello,
For me don t work, is showing only the title with link, no image
Hi,
I am having trouble getting the image to show. How do I create a custom field to associate my thumbnails?
Thanks so much,
debbie
the image function only for the advanced use which have set thumbnail image for every post!
I’m having trouble on one of my sites with the plug-in showing only a line of text(the titles of related posts) in the RSS feed and not the list of related links. The only difference in the site from another that does work is that I have removed the php content command from the single post template.
Any suggestions?
I figured it out. The content value cannot be null (“”) as long as there is some value, I used a space then the plugin works fin with the RSS feed.
sorry, I can’t follow you… can you contact me via MSN denishua#hotmail.com
Newbie question, but how can I change the font color of the hyperlinks.
I am using related posts without thumbnails.
Thank you
I have 10 related posts display, but want to split it up in 2 columns, 5 posts left, and 5 right, does anyone know how to accomplish this please?
Great plugin! Thanks!
But I have a problem. Why Random Posts are shown twice under my post? I guess I have no related posts at the moment, is that the reason??
ok, I found out that I should not checkmark
- Auto Insert Related Posts? in the plugin settings.
Now it shows as needed, I also added related tags to have Related Posts underneath.
But another problem occured! There are no Random Posts now under the Related Posts??
Great plugin!! Thanks a lot for developing it.
Could you please tell me how to change the font color of the “Related Posts Title” and the hyperlinks?
Thanks!

Great plugin! Thanks!
is there a way of customizing this plugin? In the settings for the plugin you can exclude categories, but I want to embed this plugin in different places with each version excluding different categories, can i do this with a parameter passed into wp_related_posts ?
I’d also like more info around the thumbnail, I am using p75 simple thumbnail plugin, is it possible to use these are thumbnails for related posts?
Thank you! Great plugin!
how can i do it with categories instead tags?
simple but powerfull plugin! i’ll tried this plugin adapt to page which have subpages, but it’s hard for me to do
maybe you can help?
I just want to share this piece of css so you can have a nice related post layout with thumbnails. Hope it helps! and thanks for this great plugin!
Paste it on your style.css
.related_post a:link {border:none; color:#666666;}
.related_post {clear:both; text-align:left; margin:10px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0;}
.related_post li{width:120px; float:left; display:inline; margin-top:5px; margin-right:13px; margin-left:10px; padding:5;}
.related_post img{width:120px; height:70px;clear:both; padding:5px; background:#F7F7F7; border:1px solid #DDD;}
.related_post img:hover {border: 1px solid #000;padding:5px;}
.related_post a{clear:both; display:block; border:none; text-decoration:none;}
.related_post li{font-size:11px;}
.related_post li a:hover {color: #000;}
Thanks Greg
I was trying to do this myself but was quite unsuccessful – your tip works perfectly
Does anybody know how to set a default image incase there is no thumbnail? For instance when there is only a video in the post?
Maybe using a jpeg image as a preview of your embedded video ?
Great plug-in ! A little bit tricky to figure out for non-code guys
But when there is no related posts, It could be nice to display nothing – even the Related Post area – instead of a message “There is is no RP” or most commented/most popular posts.
I try to do that with CSS property “display: none;” because I’m unable to get into PhP without damage…
Does anyone knows the trick ?
