Make Your Posts More Visible With the Related Posts Drop-in

In today’s web where sidebars become increasingly less common on vertical scrolling devices, we have to find a way to make our older content more visible. A timeless way to put more content in front of your readers is to list a bunch of related posts at the end of each post, and the Related Posts Dropin makes this easy.

Screenshots

Show up to 6 related posts at the end of each blog post with the featured image and title.

Installation

Read the Dropin Installation Guide for general instructions on how to install any MD Dropin, including the Related Posts Dropin.

Also include this simple CSS somewhere in your style.css file:

/* RELATED POSTS */
 .related-posts a { border-bottom: 0; }
 .related-image {
     background-position: center center;
     background-size: cover;
     display: block;
     height: 120px;
 }

Dropin Notes

• At the top of the main related-posts.php file you can adjust the title that shows above the posts, and how many posts you want to show.
• Related posts are determined by checking the existing post’s category and displaying other random posts from the same category in a neat list.
• Related posts look best and get clicked more when a featured image is attached, so make sure you attach an image to your posts (best practice)
