This setting can be configured for different devices, granting you granular control over the module&#8217;s visual presentation across various screen sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is pretty interesting. It will let you select the query that the <strong>Related Posts<\/strong> module gathers its information from. Two simple choices are available here, <strong>Category<\/strong>, which will show related posts from the same category, and <strong>Tag<\/strong>, which will show related posts from the same post tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Module Title Controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rename the default &#8220;Related Posts&#8221; title to better suit your content and customize the heading&#8217;s HTML tag for optimal SEO. You can further refine SEO by aligning the title to the left, center, or right of the module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Image Controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Configure the visual presentation of featured images for each related post entry. Options include controlling the image aspect ratio and specifying the desired thumbnail size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post Title Tag Controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Assign the desired HTML tag to the title of each related post entry, ensuring proper semantic structure and potential SEO benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta Elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant granular control over the display of various meta elements within the &#8220;Related Posts&#8221; module. Choose to showcase or hide elements like published date, author information, comments count, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Module Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Decouple the module from the main post content for greater flexibility. The &#8220;Separated&#8221; option presents the module full-width after the post content, while &#8220;Contained&#8221; keeps it visually integrated with the post. When using &#8220;Separated,&#8221; you can further choose to display the module before or after the comments section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Container Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Determine the container&#8217;s behavior. Choose a full-width layout that spans the entire page content area, or opt for a more confined container for a focused presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Device Visibility Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leverage the familiar device visibility options to control on which devices the &#8220;Related Posts&#8221; module appears.
