Nifty Related Posts

A WordPress plugin that adds related posts by category to the bottom of your single post template.

Kingsley Ibietela Felix

Related posts everywhere — inline in your content, at the end, in RSS feeds, and in a floating sidebar.
Relatedly automatically finds and displays related posts to keep readers engaged, increase page views, and reduce bounce rate. Unlike other plugins, Relatedly places posts inside your content at natural breaks (not just at the bottom), shows them in a floating sidebar, and gives you built-in analytics to measure what works.
