Contextual Related Posts works well. Thanks a lot!
The recent update helps show the images nicely, even when my featured images are of different sizes.
(It reminds me of which featured image sizes I need to fix on my pages so that they are all the same.)
If you need any testers at any time, I’m happy to help.
Cheers. 5 Stars

I’ve been using the Contextual Related Posts plugin probably since it was realized, many years ago. It’s doing a great job on my huge site with 12k posts and 8k categories. Recently, it stopped working because of another plugin and some other issues. In desperation, I tried all the available related post plugins. None of those plugins can match this one. This plugin offers many ways to fine-tune results and adjust the display. Even Ajay’s free support is second to none. I highly recommend this plugin. If it works flawlessly on my huge site with a thousand taxonomies, it will work on any other WordPress site.

I’m using this plugin for a while now and it’s doing perfectly the job. It’s easy to configure, you have enough options to customize it but the more important is the fact related posts displayed are always accurate. This plugin is doing it very well and better than some similar plugins. I recommend it!
