Plugin is awesome

DickRaney February 27, 2024

Previously used a plugin by MicroKid which is abandoned and doesn’t work with PHP 8. This plugin allows us to manually choose related posts to be shown page by page. And the author gives great support too.

Useful, Manually selected post

I use it for “Manually selected post”

This plugin is anything but “Related posts plugin”

The posts shown inside a particular post are not related to it in any way. This is just some kind of posts list with thumbnails inside posts, but “related”, no way.

the best related post plugin

Great plugin, incredible support response

altimac November 10, 2022 1 reply

This plugin does a heckuva lot with the free version, and works great. There was one additional feature we were hoping it could receive that would make it perfect for our use case, so I posted that request in the support forum. The response from the developers was nearly immediate, and indicated they thought it was a great suggestion and they were going to implement it within 48 hours. Not only did they add this feature, but they did it within 24 hours. I can’t say that I have EVER experienced that kind of responsiveness and support. I would give six stars were that possible.

Great!
