Auto display on your website

1. Copy the folder yet-another-related-posts-plugin into the directory wp-content/plugins/ and (optionally) the sample templates inside yarpp-templates folder into your active theme.

2. Activate the plugin.

3. Find the Related Posts (YARPP) settings page in your wp-admin. If you see a message telling you to build your cache, please build your cache. Otherwise, you will see no related posts anywhere.

NOTE: If you run a large and complex site and/or worry about your SQL query volume, it may be better to simply make sure the "compute related posts on the fly" option is turned on and not try to build the cache all at once.

Auto display in your feeds

Make sure the "display related posts in feeds" option is turned on if you would like to show related posts in your RSS and Atom feeds. The "display related posts in feeds" option can be used regardless of whether you auto display them on your website (and vice versa).

Widget

Related posts can also be displayed as a widget. Go to the Design > Widgets options page and add the Related Posts widget. The widget will only be displayed on single entry (permalink) pages. The widget can be used even if the "auto display" option is turned off.

Custom display through templates

New in version 3.0, YARPP allows the advanced user with knowledge of PHP to customize the display of related posts using a templating mechanism. More information is available in this tutorial.

Manual installation

For advanced users with knowledge of PHP, there is also an advanced manual installation option.
