    I just had a quick look and il take a guess that i may mean in the theme file where you intend the related posts to show up, do you know where you would like to present them? in the sidebar maybe?

    I would like them to appear at the end of every post, so what file would I need to edit?

    Thnx

    Ok you will need to edit your index.php file, do you want it to appear before the posted by, date etc? if that is underneath your post?

    Or after that info too? usually labelled as postmetadata in the index.php file.

    I think you will want to make the same edit to archives.php, page.php and single.php too.

    Right now I don't have a date or anything at the end of posts, just a 'share this' icon. So basically just after everything.

    Cheers

    Okay, I inserted the code but after every post all that it says is

    'No Related Post'

    Even though their are related posts on the same subject?

    Do you maybe have to configure it? is it meant to be automatic or do you set the posts as related yourself?

    Yeah it's automatic, but I just noticed it says

    ''ress Related Posts Plugin will generate a related posts via WordPress tags,''

    I don't actually use tags so I will add tags to the posts soon.

    Thnx for the help
