Vertical Related Posts

VRP uses tags to find related posts and then displays them according to your conditions.

Being responsive, it will automatically adjust to your layout. So you can insert VRP anywhere in your template

Features

  • vertically display related posts
  • choose a title for the VRP section
  • choose how many posts to be displayed (both globally and as per post)
  • choose the size of the featured image (based on WP sizes)
  • fill with random posts if available posts aren’t enough (posts with no tags in common)
  • choose what to display (title/featured image/excerpt)
  • choose the post types on which VRP are displayed
  • CSS tags for customization

Just install, activate and add the code into your template.
