Yet Another Related Posts Plugin Review

Jul 16, 2010 by Shivendu Madhava

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP) gives you a list of posts and/or pages related to the current entry, introducing the reader to other relevant content on your site.

Key features include:

1. An advanced and versatile algorithm: Using a customizable algorithm considering post titles, content, tags, and categories, YARPP calculates a “match score” for each pair of posts on your blog. You choose the threshold limit for relevance and you get more related posts if there are more related posts and less if there are less.
2. Templating:The YARPP templating system puts you in charge of how your posts are displayed.
3. Caching: Improved in 3.1! YARPP organically caches the related posts data as your site is visited, greatly improving performance.
4. Related posts in RSS feeds: Display related posts in your RSS and Atom feeds with custom display options.
5. Disallowing certain tags or categories: You can choose certain tags or categories as disallowed, meaning any page or post with such tags or categories will not be served up by the plugin.
6. Related posts and pages: Puts you in control of pulling up related posts, pages, or both.

This plugin requires that your database run on MySQL 4.1 or greater.

Installation:

1. Copy the folder yet-another-related-posts-plugin into the directory wp-content/plugins/ and (optionally) the sample templates inside yarpp-templates folder into your active theme.
2. Activate the plugin.

Auto display in your feeds

Make sure the “display related posts in feeds” option is turned on if you would like to show related posts in your RSS and Atom feeds. The “display related posts in feeds” option can be used regardless of whether you auto display them on your website (and vice versa).

Widget

Related posts can also be displayed as a widget. Go to the Design > Widgets options page and add the Related Posts widget. The widget will only be displayed on single entry (permalink) pages. The widget can be used even if the “auto display” option is turned off.
