  Hi,

  Can you please mail me the settings youve used for this plugin. I have activated this, but unable to c them.

  I am a newbie to wordpress and hence this question. Help me if possible…

  Hi Sucharith,

  Rather than mail you the settings, I’ll explain how to do it here in case anyone else has the same problem.

  Upload the related-posts.php to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and then activate it via your Dashboard.

  You need to create an entry in your database tables before it runs. You can do this by navigating to the Plugins section of your Dashboard and clicking on the Related Posts Options. There is a button there to click which will automate the process.

  Once your tables have been created successfully, you need to decide where you want the related posts to appear.

  In the case of this site, I opened single.php and inserted the line of code immediately after the content had finished so the page now looks like this:

  < ?php the_content('< p >Read the rest of this entry »< /p >‘); ? >
  < strong >Related Articles< /strong >< br/ >< ?php related_posts(); ? > 
      < ?php link_pages('< p >< strong >Pages:< /strong > ‘, ‘< /p >‘, ‘number’); ? >

  I had to add whitespace in the code above for it to display in the comments section so if you’re planning on cutting and pasting, remember to remove the spaces at the beginning and end of the tags. More information on how to use the plugin can be found in the plugin directory in the readme-first.txt

  Good luck!

  Mike

  I’ve seen the plugin being used at a number of websites and am going to try it out myself

  Very useful post above, especially the download links. The one I was trying on the other site www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com was giving an Internal error.

  Yeah it took some hunting around to find a live page for the plugin but it was well worth it.
