Another cool Wordpress Plugin I would like to present here. I noticed most of the blogs does not include their related posts under every of the posts, as well as myself. However after some effort looking for the best Wordpress Plugin which does the job like I want, I found this, Related Posts Wordpress Plugin.
Well, the reason why I am looking after a Related Posts Wordpress Plugin is because:
1) It helps in more interaction of your blog posts.
2) It does help your readers to find out more about your other relevant posts without having to crawl around your blog.(Especially for those having uncountable blog posts)
3) It helps in Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
To install and use it, follow the instruction below
Installation steps:
1) Download Related Posts Wordpress Plugin.
2) Extract and upload your wp_related_posts.php to the
/wp-content/plugins/ directory
3) Activate the plugins.
4) Configure your plugins settings in your Settings > Wordpress Related Posts.
Having completed the steps above, you will find your single page posts listed with Related Posts after your contents.
However, if you are up to apply the same in your main index page, follow the instruction below.
Configure your index page:
1) Go to your Wordpress Themes Folder, and edit the index.php file.
2) Look for
<?php the_content(__(’Continue Reading >>’));?>
3) The theme setting could differs with your blog theme settings, but the point is to look for similar line that functions the same. This line means right below your every posts contents.
4) Add the following right after the line in step 2:
<?php wp_related_posts(); ?>
5) You are done. View your main page and see the output.(If the output does not come out as you expected, please do a few more time for trial and error to look for the correct position to apply the line in step 4.
