WordPress.org

A simple 'related posts' plugin that lets you choose the related posts yourself instead of generating the list automatically. Supports any post types in WordPress, including custom ones.

Features:

• Add related posts to your blog posts, pages etc.
• Choose from posts, pages or any other post type
• Support for custom post types
• Re-order related posts via drag and drop
• Custom markup possible, or simply use the default output

I wrote the plugin because I wanted to have the option to add related posts to each blog post using a simple but functional plugin without a lot of junk. Unlike other 'related posts' plugins that use algorithms to automatically generate a list of posts, I wanted to be able to select the related posts myself.

The plugin targets small and medium sized blogs. On blogs with lots of posts (500+) it might not be very comfortable to choose the posts via select box.

You can contribute improvements to this plugin by forking it on GitHub.

To display the related posts, simply add the following line in your template, inside the WordPress loop.

<?php echo $related->show(get_the_ID()); ?>

For advanced options, see the installation docs.
