Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SoftIcon Related Posts – Similar Posts & Internal Linking

Install and activate SoftIcon Related Posts. Related posts appear below every post automatically. To place them somewhere else, use the Related Posts block or the [softicon_related_posts] shortcode.
Go to Related Posts → Settings and set "Related by" to "Same tag", or to "Same category or tag" to use both.
Posts that share more tags and categories with the current post come first. A shared tag counts twice as much as a shared category, because tags are usually more specific. Ties are broken by date, newest first.
No. Related posts are cached and refreshed automatically when your content changes, so most page views run no related-posts query at all. The front end loads one small stylesheet and no JavaScript.
Yes. Tick "Products" under Related Posts → Settings → Post types and set "Related by" to "Any shared taxonomy". Related products are matched by product categories and tags and shown inside the product description.
Yes. Set Position to "Manual (shortcode only)", then open Appearance → Editor, edit the Single Posts template and add the Related Posts block where you want it.
Yes. In classic themes, add the "SoftIcon Related Posts" widget to your sidebar. In block themes, add the Related Posts block to a template part or widget area.
Yes. In the post editor, use "Pick related posts" in the Related Posts box. Your picks are shown first, in the order you added them, and the remaining slots are filled automatically. Hand-picked posts are shown even if they are in an excluded category.
Yes. Under Related Posts → Settings → Filters you can exclude categories, exclude individual posts by ID and only show posts from the last few months.
Open the post in the editor and tick "Hide related posts on this post" in the Related Posts box.
