  What algorithms does WordPress use to determine ‘Related Content’ on a Post? In other words, how can one ensure that related posts ARE ACTUALLY RELATED to a Post?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks, timethief. Unfortunately, https://en.support.wordpress.com/related-posts/ did not help in any way.

  After turning on Related Content I noticed, here and there, totally UNRELATED posts being “related” to other posts. Checked to see if any Categories were shared. NOPE. Checked to see if any Tags were shared. NOPE.

  Double-checked and compared the content of the 2 posts to see if there ANYTHING AT ALL that would assume one they were related…you can guess what my answer is…NOPE.

  What else can I look at on my blog to determine what links these together so I can fix it

  @m2labs00 can you link to the post and let me know which post should not be related to it? We’ll take a look.
