WordPress Tutorials, Tips, and Resources to Help Grow Your Business

SearchWP’s Related Extension has just been updated to version 1.3 and is now available to all active license holders.

This is primarily a bug fix and optimization release but it also includes a new feature that allows you to specify individual entries you’d like to force to include for specific entries:

This allows you to manually curate an entry or two and have SearchWP fill in the remaining slots with its search results.

There are a few other small changes and bug fixes that help to make version 1.3 of Related do an even better job of finding related content that updates itself over time automatically.

Enjoy!
