I have been using the Related Entries plugin for almost two years. I liked it because it was light and accomplished the task it was supposed to.
Lately, however, I started taking a look at the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP), and it looks promising.
- The ability to set a threshold on the relevancy of the posts that you want to show
- Improved algorithm for finding related posts that also takes into consideration categories and tags
- The ability to display the related posts in your RSS feed as well
- The automatic integration of the related links below your posts
If you are trying to find a plugin to add related posts on your blog, therefore, I would highly recommend taking trying this one first.
Even if you already have a plugin doing that, it could be the case of making the switch. I plan to when I get some free time.

I find it a bit confusing for the installer.
After activation, there were instructions saying template files must be moved to the theme folder to complete installation. I moved the files and double check the right files are in the right location.
It said No YARPP template files were found in your theme so the templating feature has been turned off.
Great great plugin! I’ve recently installed it onto one of my blogs and I am definitely glad that I did. Although it is almost too flexible lol. But once you get it set up that first time, it’s a breeze from there.
I use it on my blog as well. I just love the way YARPP pulls up related posts.
Excellent plugin and got even better with recent addition of related posts in feed.
There’s a check box at the bottom of the settings page in your admin….uncheck it.
This pluggin is realyl nice and all. but how do I eliminate ” Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin” message below the related posts. As much as I want to support the guy this is quite distracting.
I am currently using Related Posts plugin. WIll check this plugin now. and switch to it if i like it.
A great plugin, but can you tell us what are the results of this new plugin for related posts ?
I tried it but it seems to be too hard for a huge website with a lot of trafic…
My wordpress blog was so slow after the activation of this plugin, what can i do ?
wow, it looks cool. I’m going to add this in my blog as well…
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for this. I tried one similar plugin and I just didn’t like the way it looked–so I scrapped it. I’ll give this one a chance. Let us know how it works for you when you implement it.
I love this plugin – especially the related post in the feed feature. I’ve noticed a great jump in feed clicks and PVs since using it.
Thanks for posting this! I have always been a fan of the Related Posts plugin, but this one sounds great! I love the fact that it enables related posts to show up on RSS feeds. I definitely must check out this one!
Excellent plugin and got even better with recent addition of related posts in feed.
Used this, it’s ok for some blogs, depends on content type actually.
Cool!
As stated I just downloaded and installed. May I say, holy crap that’s a lotta options!
thanks for sharing. i will give it a try.
I think I will give it a try…thank!
You could see it in action on my blog.
Very timely my friend. I just switched out one for another, and I’m not really liking it either.
Yeah I download YARPP some time ago and it really is awesome
I already use this
I like the fact that you can also show related posts in the feed. I’m gonna check this plugin out as soon as I have some free time, thanks for the share, Daniel!
