    Hi,
    I’m writing about the Related Posts module in AMP.
    Setting it up by normal means, ie via the posts appearing in the sidebar under the categories and tags, just shows ONE related post (I’ve written two posts since installing AMP for WP), which is the other post I’ve written.
    However setting it up to appear ‘In-Content’ makes the module work properly, with THREE related posts showing from the last 1000 days.
    How do I get the original module to show related posts like the ‘in-content’ one?

    Ok then I tried a few things out before your analysis:
    1) Turned OFF the Recent Posts, but left the Related Posts turned ON, and all posts, related or recent, disappeared.
    2) Turned ON Recent Posts Below Related and the Recent Posts came back, but still no Related Posts, which by the way are set to appear randomly, by category, and posted within the last 1000 days.
    3) Turned ON ‘In Content Related Posts’ and set them to randomly, by category, and posted within the last 1000 days, to prove that the ‘in content’ works and that there are in fact other posts to be pulled.
    I’d suggest going back to an earlier post – say the ‘TV Ads Christmas 2019’ post to see that the only related post in the sidebar is the most present one.
    URL for analysis is https://www.midlandsmaidens.com/tv-ads-christmas-2019/amp/

    Something else I noticed in the Related Posts issue, was that if you enable ‘In-Content Related Posts’, it also enables posts for Custom Post Types, making them look stupid.
    This is why I’ve now disabled ‘In Content Related Posts’.
