Settings for maximum number of related posts?

Hi Bart,

On the content filter priority, this isn’t related to the number of posts, but rather the position of where the related posts fits in the rest of the content vs. other plugins that add this. A higher number will put it later in the post. So e.g. you might have a plugin adding social sharing images at the end of the post and if you want it before CRP, then put CRP to a bigger number, say 999.

On the rest of your questions, this is something that is unique for different sites. e.g. you might notice that having only the title gives better results vs. both title and content. In theory, the content included should have more things to match. Again, more the info within the content should ideally fetch better results.

Ideally you should try to use a set of permutations and combinations to see what gives you the best results.

Alternatively, you might also want to disable fulltext matching using this addon and use categories and tags only: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/crp-taxonomy/

Hi Ajay,
It worked and the posts now show the amount of related posts i specified in thh settings. The problem is however that it are always the same (recent) posts which are shown.

I really like your plugin and the custom css settings so I want to keep using it. Perhaps you can add the following option:

disable contextual matching and random add posts which match certain categories. That would really help because all i want is to randomly add posts from two categories. Is this an option for future versions?

Hi,

Do I understand correctly that you’ve installed CRP Taxonomy Tools? That’s a good suggestion on randomising the posts. I’ll put this as an option for that addon.
