Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP) gives you a list of posts and/or pages related to the current entry, introducing the reader to other relevant content on your site. Key features include:

  1. An advanced and versatile algorithm: Using a customizable algorithm considering post titles, content, tags, and categories, YARPP calculates a "match score" for each pair of posts on your blog. You choose the threshold limit for relevance and you get more related posts if there are more related posts and less if there are less.
  2. Templating: New in 3.0! The YARPP templating system puts you in charge of how your posts are displayed.
  3. Caching: Improved in 3.1! YARPP organically caches the related posts data as your site is visited, greatly improving performance.
  4. Related posts in RSS feeds: Display related posts in your RSS and Atom feeds with custom display options.
  5. Disallowing certain tags or categories: You can choose certain tags or categories as disallowed, meaning any page or post with such tags or categories will not be served up by the plugin.
  6. Related posts and pages: Puts you in control of pulling up related posts, pages, or both.

This plugin requires that your database run on MySQL 4.1 or greater.

Testimonials

"One of my favorite [plugin]s I just activated on my blog is called Yet Another Related Posts Plugin... I've been blogging seven or eight years now so I have a lot of archives, and it actually surprises me sometimes when I blog about something and I visit the permalink to see I've written about it before... and it also increases the traffic on your blog because when they come in just to one entry, they'll see this other stuff going on." - Matt Mullenweg, WordPress creator
