Hello!

I would like to have ‘related posts’ showing at the end of every blogpost. I have in the optionsmeny marked this option with ‘show related postes after every post’ and also marked the box with ‘show big display with images’. All my posts are sorted by categorized so i am thinking that all posts with the same category will be shown at the end of the post. But there is not a single post coming up at the end of my posts.

I have googled this issue and read that i need to install a plugin for making this possible. I read a guide that told me to go to the widgets and search for a plugin called ‘Contextual Related Posts’. I did this but nothing is showing in the search box. I even tried to search for other widgets but nothing showed exept the standards widgets.

How do i install related posts in my wordpress blog?
I am using the free wordpress with the Penscratch-theme.

Please explain thoroughly, i am not an expert in this. And i have also not downloaded wordpress since i dont have an server, i am only using the online version.

Thank you!

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

What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you refer to please?

And, exactly which username account registered that site?

I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting.

Hi again!
Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately i still can’t make the related post to work on my blog.

I have 12 posts in the same category, with a minimum of 200 words. Each post includes a picture and i have selected the “Related Posts” in the settings. My theme is Penscratch so it should work.

What could be wrong? :(

Its working now! I guess it just needed time to make it work. Maybe slow loading or something.

However.. the pictures are in different sizes making the related post links not flowing in a row :/
