Divi Related Posts

Keep readers on-site with automatic related-post blocks.

Why use the Divi Related Posts module?

A "related articles" section at the end of a post keeps a reader on the site instead of bouncing after one page. Doing it well means matching on the post's actual category or tag, not just showing whatever is newest.

Related Posts reads the current post's terms in a chosen taxonomy and queries other posts that share them. If the current content has no terms there, it falls back to the most recent posts instead of showing nothing.

This is the live module, reading real content on this exact page.

See the Divi Related Posts in action

This is the live module, running on this exact page. This page is a Page, not a Post, so it has no category terms to match; the module falls back to the site's most recent posts, which is real module behaviour, not a scripted result.

Grid, three across

Most recent posts, since this page has no category to match against.

List layout

The same query, laid out as a list instead of a grid.

List

Two posts, stacked.

Adding one takes about a minute

Three steps, and none of them involve custom CSS.

Questions people ask first

Short answers, all of them checked against what the module actually does.

Is the Related Posts module free?No. It ships in Divi Torque Pro. The free plugin does not include it.Does it need Divi 5?It is a native Divi 5 module. A Divi 4 layout using the same module converts across, since it shares the same shortcode.What happens if the current post has no matching category?It falls back to the most recent posts of the chosen type instead of rendering nothing, which is exactly what this page's own live demo above is showing.Does it work on a Page as well as a Post?It runs on any singular content, but Pages typically carry no category terms, so it will usually show the fallback recent-posts behaviour rather than a true taxonomy match.Can I match on tags instead of categories?Yes. Taxonomy accepts any registered taxonomy on the post type, not only category.Will it ever show the post it is placed on?No. The current post is always excluded from its own related list.
