Contextual Related Posts Settings – General

The General options tab in the Contextual Related Posts settings screen gives you the main options to configure the related posts on your WordPress site.

💡 Since v4.3.1, a search box on the settings screen filters options across all tabs as you type — useful for jumping straight to a setting without knowing which tab it lives on.

General settings

Choose where related posts are automatically inserted. Options include Posts, Pages, Home page, Feeds, Category archives, Tag archives, and Other archives. If you disable this, you can manually add related posts using:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'echo_crp' ) ) { echo_crp(); } ?>

Display location priority

Select the relative position of the related posts in the post content. A higher number pushes the related posts later in the content. Any number below 10 is not recommended.

Insert after paragraph number

Enter 0 to display the related posts before the post content, -1 to display at the end, or a number to insert after a specific paragraph. For negative numbers, counting starts from the end. If the paragraph number exceeds the post’s count, they will appear at the end.

⚠️ This ignores other HTML tags and may not work as expected if <p> tags are inside other tags.

Disable on mobile devices

Disable display of related posts on mobile devices. Might not always work with caching plugins.

Disable on AMP pages

Disable display of related posts on AMP pages.

Enable bot protection (Pro only)

When enabled, Contextual Related Posts Pro detects known bots and crawlers and skips generating related posts for their requests. This reduces unnecessary database load from non-human traffic.

Uninstall settings

Miscellaneous
