FAQ

You are wellcome to ask questions directly to me in the Simply-Related-Posts-section
on my blog http://www.danielauener.com/simply-related-posts/

There is even a github-repository on: http://github.com/danielauener/wp-simply-related-posts

Q. How to add thumbnail images to the related posts list
A. You can add the ‘simply_related_posts_title’ filter, like
add_filter( ‘simply_related_posts_title’, ‘my_related_posts’, 10, 2);
The first argument is a post-object for the related post, the second argument
is the widget instance.
