The Related Posts module displays additional content beneath individual posts, giving visitors an easy way to continue exploring similar topics. Related content can be selected according to shared categories or tags, and the module can also be used with supported Custom Post Types.
To enable and configure it, navigate to Customiser → Single Posts → Related Posts.
Quick Look
Granular Controls
Type
Choose how related content is presented:
- Default – displays related posts in a traditional static grid.
- Slider – displays related posts inside an interactive carousel that visitors can navigate.
Blocksy Pro
The Slider presentation is available with Blocksy Pro. The standard Default layout is available without it.
Posts & Columns
Control how many related posts are included and how they are arranged within the module. The available layout controls can be configured responsively so the number of visible columns adapts to desktop, tablet and mobile screens.
Related Criteria
The Related Criteria setting determines how Blocksy finds relevant content for the current post:
- Category – displays posts that share a category with the current post.
- Tag – displays posts that share a tag with the current post.
For more advanced query customisation, developers can also modify the Related Posts query through Blocksy’s available WordPress filters.
Module Title
The module title can be customised instead of using the default Related Posts text.
You can also choose the HTML heading tag and alignment used for the title, allowing it to fit the semantic structure and visual layout of your page.
Featured Image
Choose whether related entries display their featured images and configure how those thumbnails are presented.
Available settings include the image aspect ratio and the WordPress thumbnail size used for the related post images.
Post Title
Select the HTML tag used for the title of each related post entry. This lets you keep the module’s heading hierarchy consistent with the rest of the page.
Meta Elements
Control which post metadata is displayed alongside each related entry. Depending on the available configuration, this can include information such as the publication date, author and comment count.
Module Placement
The Related Posts module can use one of two placement behaviours:
- Contained – keeps Related Posts integrated within the regular single-post content structure.
- Separated – places Related Posts in a separate section outside the main post content container.
When Separated is selected, you can also choose whether the module appears before or after the comments section.
Container Structure
When using the separated placement, the structure control determines the width of the module’s inner container. This lets you keep Related Posts aligned with a normal content width or use a narrower presentation where appropriate.
Device Visibility
Use the responsive visibility controls to decide whether the entire Related Posts module appears on desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
