Description

GR Auto Related Posts is designed for performance and ease of use. It automatically finds and displays a list of related posts based on shared categories, helping you increase reader engagement and lower your bounce rate.

With a simple settings page, you can control everything:
* Simple & Clear Positioning: Use radio buttons to choose exactly where related posts appear: before content, after content, in the middle, or after a specific number of paragraphs or headings.
* Smart Inputs: The number input field for paragraph/heading count only appears when you select that option.
* Manual Mode: Don’t want automatic insertion? Just use the [gr_related_posts] shortcode to manually place the list anywhere.
* Customize the Title: Change the heading that appears above the related posts list.
* Control Post Count: Choose exactly how many related posts you want to show.
* Choose Display Style: Select between a simple text list or a list with post thumbnails.

This plugin is intentionally built to be super lightweight, with no unnecessary scripts or complex database queries, ensuring your site remains fast.

Installation

  1. Upload the gr-auto-related-posts folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Click the “Settings” link directly below the plugin name, or navigate to Settings -> GR Related Posts to configure the plugin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the position of the related posts?

Go to the plugin’s settings page. Under “Positioning Settings”, you will see a clear list of radio buttons. If you choose the option for “After Paragraph Number” or “After Heading Number”, a number box will automatically appear next to it for you to fill in.

What happens if I choose to insert after paragraph 5, but the post only has 3 paragraphs?

The plugin is smart enough to handle this. If your specified count is higher than the available paragraphs (or headings), the related posts block will be safely added at the very end of the content.
