    Is there a plugin to show similar posts in WordPress blogs ?
    We have lots of similar posts in my and my friend's blog but I haven't been quite able to figure out how to show similar post underneath the single post, tried a bit of self coding but couldn't totally achieve it:( Recommended plugins would be helpful I use 2.7 for the blogs
    Mainly focusing on celebrity related blog so any good plugin would help me and our team to give a good nod ahead for us



    any guidance would be sincerely appreciated :)

    I tried several plugins to achieve this, and after trying the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin, I stopped looking and put this on all of my wordpress blogs.

    I'm going to agree with the above poster- YARPP is one of the best plugins for doing this. It's simple to setup and free to use.

    There is a whole set of tools for this sort of thing created by plugin author rjmarsh. They work very well. just search the plugin directory http://wordpress.org/extend/

    YARPP does the job for me as well.

    Excellent plugin. Helps a lot in keeping visitors at your place by showing them posts similar to what they're already reading.

    It's a great plugin, but keep in mind that none of these will work if you're using a caching plugin.

    You would think a Google Search would answer this one?
