Showing related content to visitors is a great way to keep attention on your site! If you’re already using another system for related content, this SearchWP extension will likely save you some overhead by utilizing the content index it already created.
Setup & IntegrationLike all SearchWP Extensions, Related is a standalone WordPress plugin that runs alongside SearchWP. Once installed, Related takes no action by default. You can view the settings screen (found within the Extensions dropdown on the SearchWP settings screen)

- Exclude content (comma separated IDs) from Related content per post type
- Limit potential Related content (comma separated IDs) per post type
When auto-append is enabled for a post type, Related content will be automatically output when viewing a single entry of that post type.
