  The possibly related posts are a feature of wordpress.COM. If you want to turn them off, go to appearance > extras.

  We keep getting the suggestion to go to appearance > extras to turn off the automatically generated “posibley related posts.” Several people have commented in older requests for information that there is no longer a check box for turning this feature off. Would somebody please acknowledge this fact? Is it no longer optional? I find it very objectionable, and if I can’t turn it off, may move my blog elsewhere.

  The checkbox is there. You can turn off the possibly related posts.

  If the checkbox was there, I wouldn’t have bothered to post. I’m not the only one who’s found that there is no checkbox for this feature. Why does everybody keep insisting there is? I’ve tried two different browsers, and there’s NO CHECK BOX.!

  Is it possible this is a problem just for Macs?

  No. I am using a Mac.

  Have you cleared cookies and cache, logged out, and restarted the browsers?

  “Several people have commented in older requests for information that there is no longer a check box for turning this feature off.”

  I haven’t seen that recently, and I’ve been reading the forums a lot for the past couple of weeks. I just did a search of the forums and didn’t see anyone recently not finding the check box. (related posts check box site:https://en.forums.wordpress.com/ in Google search bar) Do you have an example?

  @giftedadults

  BTW, http://giftedadults.wordpress.com/ linked to your name seems to have been deleted. Are you asking about another wordpress.com blog?
