The Survival Skills Blog Project

In this post we are going to cover the installation and use of the Contextual Related Posts WordPress plugin and why we need it in building our http://survivalskillsandgear.com authority site. This is a project blog we are working on with the goal of having authority website (in this case a blog) that we can monetize and make some money from.

This plugin lets you display a list of contextually related posts for the current post. The WordPress Contextual Related Posts plugin is especially useful for sites (websites and blogs) that have multiple pages and posts because it brings up and displays related content found elsewhere within those sites.

You can select the number of posts you want to display and you can also automatically display the related posts in your content / feed.

You can decide to exclude posts from certain categories as well as exclude pages.

Features:

• Display Related Posts automatically in content / feed, no need to edit template files
• Doesn’t require the post to be tagged in order to display related posts
• You can manually add code to your template where you want the related posts to be displayed
• Exclude posts from categories
• Exclude display of related posts on Pages
• Exclude links pages in Related Posts list
• Find related posts based on content and post title

For your settings….

Go to Settings->Related Posts

Check Add Related Posts to Pages – display 5 to 10

Find related posts based on content as well as title. If you are on a shared server and not using a cache (true in most cases) uncheck this one as it can cause your system to slow down.  I am using QuickCache so I am going to leave it checked.

Append link to this plugin – uncheck
