What is Manual Related Posts?
Manual Related Posts is a plugin that allows you to manually specify related posts, rather than use a algorithm.
Pages and any Custom Post Type that you’ve defined will also work.
Once activated, this plugin adds a meta box to the Add/Edit Post screen where related posts can be chosen.
There is no limitation to the number of related posts you can have for any one post, and un-relating a post again is simple – un-select the related entry and update the Post.
- Filtering is supported if you have a large list to pick from.
- Multi language support including US, GB, FR, DE, NL, IT, ES and RU.
- Pages and Custom Post Types work in the same way.
Displaying related posts with Manual Related Posts
Displaying related posts, pages or custom post types is easy. There are two options:
- Call Manual Related Posts within The Loop. This will display all related posts for each Post (if any).
- Call Manual Related Posts outside The Loop, in sidebars, footer areas or anywhere you want by passing a Posts ID. This will display all related posts for a specific Post (if any).
Pages and Custom Post Types work in the same way.
Manual Related Posts will not output any headings above your related posts, pages or custom post types. This is up to you, so you have full control over the look and feel.
Please view the screenshots for examples. Alternatively post a comment with any questions you have. Feature requests also accepted.
