FAQ
-
Does it work with custom post types?
-
Yes. Enable the desired post types in Settings Related Content.
-
How does the automatic suggestion algorithm work?
-
It looks for posts of the same type that share at least one term (category, tag, or custom taxonomy term) with the current post. Falls back to most recent posts of the same type if none are found.
-
Can I insert the block in the middle of an article?
-
Yes. Choose after the Nth paragraph to inject once, or every N paragraphs to inject multiple times (configurable maximum).
-

The plugin does not collect, send, or store any personal data. It makes no external HTTP requests.
