Related Posts

The Related Posts module shows posts that are related to the post the visitor is reading. Relation is based on a taxonomy you choose, such as category or tag. Place it in a single post template or inside a post.

The module picks published posts that share at least one term with the current post, and leaves out the current post. If the current post has no terms in the chosen taxonomy, the module shows the latest posts instead. If nothing is found, it shows "No related posts found."
