Supercharge your related posts with Premium Features

Contextual Related Posts Pro

CRP Pro enhances your experience with an advanced query block, offering more precise customisation options, additional shortcode functionalities, and enhanced meta box settings.

Pro Feature #1

Advanced Algorithm

CRP Pro will also index the post excerpt for the posts that have this set. You can also set the relative weight of the post title, post content and post excerpt. This feature overrides the default equal weight algorithm of the free version and provides a greater degree of fine-tuning.

Pro Feature #2

Contextual Related Posts Query Loop Block

The Contextual Related Posts Query Loop block is an advanced block that allows you to display the related posts based on specified parameters. You can use the pre-built block patterns or create your own block patterns for use within posts or the site editor.

Pro Feature #3

Extra shortcode parameters

CRP Pro introduces an enhancement to the related posts shortcode functionality with the addition of the display_only_on_tax_ids parameter. When used within a template, the shortcode will conditionally display related posts only on the pages of the specified taxonomy terms. Works with categories, tags or any custom taxonomy.

Pro Feature #4

Additional Metabox settings

CRP Pro adds an extra setting to the Edit Post meta box mapped to include_cat_ids. This option lets you refine the display of related posts by exclusively including those from designated categories.

Pro Feature #5

Handy Clear Cache Button

CRP Pro adds a Clear Cache button at the bottom or the settings screen next to your Save settings buttons. Save a click, or more; a second or more.
