- To add related links for a post, go to the bottom post editor and click \”Add Link\” and fill out the fields for either an internal or external link.
- To add the shortcode to the post, go to the top of the visual editor and click the button with the \”RM\” on the far right of the top row of buttons. To change the title of the related links section, fill out the title attribute. The float attribute accepts either left, right, center or none.
