<h3>MySQL FULLTEXT indices</h3>
<p>On activation, the plugin creates three MySQL FULLTEXT indices (or indexes), which are leveraged to find the related posts. <a href="https://webberzone.com/support/knowledgebase/contextual-related-posts-algorithm/" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more about how the algorithm works</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re running a multisite installation, an index is created for each blog upon activation. These indices occupy space in your MySQL database but are essential for running the plugin.</p>
<p>Two options on the settings page allow you to remove these indices when deactivating or deleting the plugin. The latter is true by default.</p>

Contextual Related Posts


Great plugin. Yours is the best related posts plugin I've found, and I've tried a lot.



If I could request one feature, perhaps in the pro version, the ability to show only related posts within the same post type.


Great plugin


Runs locally on your server instead of calling out to a cloud service. Highly configurable, privacy-friendly, can show thumbnails or just titles, can cache results or calculate them on the fly. Comparable to YARPP, which is also good, but this one comes up with better results on my site.


Highly configurable, great matches

Keep visitors on your site longer with intelligent, fast-loading, contextually related posts. Block, shortcode, custom post type and widget ready.
