سوالات متداول
-
It matches by category, tag, both, full-text content similarity, author, or a custom Series taxonomy — your choice per global setting or per-post override.
-
How does image discovery work?
-
The plugin checks for a featured image first, then scans post content for the first embedded image, then looks for an attached image, and finally falls back to a configurable default placeholder.
-
Can I override the template?
-
Yes. Copy templates/default.php from the plugin to {your-theme}/igit-rpwt/template.php and customise freely.
-
Yes. Use the [igit_related_posts] shortcode, the Gutenberg block, the Elementor widget, or the Classic widget.
-
Go to Settings Related Posts Cache Settings and set TTL to 0, or use WP-CLI: wp igit-rpwt flush-cache.
