Surface the right content at the right moment, reduce bounce rate, and keep visitors reading longer. Whether you call it _inline related posts_, _automatic related posts_, _in-content post suggestions_, or simply a _related posts widget_, Mevabi handles it all from a single, clean settings panel — no shortcodes, no Gutenberg blocks, no coding required. #### Why Inline Related Posts? Most related posts plugins append a block at the very end of an article — after readers have already decided to leave. **Mevabi places related content inline**, evenly distributed throughout the body text, so post suggestions appear exactly when reader attention is highest. The result: more pageviews, better time-on-site, and stronger internal linking for SEO. #### Key Features **Placement & Display** **Two placement modes** — Append related posts at the _end_ of the content, or _distribute them inline_ evenly between paragraphs for maximum engagement. **1–3 related posts per block** — Choose how many post cards appear in each insertion point. **Match by category or tags** — Control which taxonomy drives the related posts logic so suggestions are always contextually relevant. **Three Modern Card Designs** **Design 1 · Solid + Arrow** — Bold full-color card with a large right-hand arrow CTA. Section title displayed above the card box. ** Design 2 · Grey · Centered** — Clean light-grey card with centered text and the section title inside the box. Minimal and elegant, no arrow. **Design 3 · Image + Arrow** — Like Design 1 but with the post’s featured image displayed on the left side of the card for visual impact. **Full Color Customization** Per-design color control via native WordPress color pickers — background, hover state, post title, excerpt text, arrow, section label, border color, and border-radius are all individually configurable. Changes reflect immediately with no need to write CSS. **Typography Controls** Set font sizes (accepts any CSS unit: px, em, rem, %) independently for the section title, post title, and excerpt. **Content & Excerpt** **Optional post excerpt** — Show a short descriptive excerpt below the post title. Shortcode tags and HTML are stripped automatically so the text is always clean. **Smart excerpt fallback** — If a post begins with a shortcode block, Mevabi skips it and uses the first real text paragraph instead. **UX & Accessibility** **Fully clickable cards** — The entire card surface is a single anchor link; no confusing partial click zones. **Link target control** — Open related posts in the same tab or a new tab (with proper `rel="noopener noreferrer"` for security). **Custom section title** — Define your own heading label shown above or inside each related posts block (e.g. “You might also like”, “Keep reading”, “ Related articles”). **Performance** **Lightweight and fast** — Zero jQuery, zero external libraries. Vanilla JavaScript plus a single minified CSS file. No impact on Core Web Vitals or PageSpeed scores. **No external API calls**, no tracking scripts, no bloat. #### SEO Benefits Inline related posts directly improve on-page SEO metrics: * **Reduces bounce rate** by surfacing relevant internal links before readers leave. * **Increases pages per session** by guiding visitors to related content naturally. * **Strengthens internal link structure** — each related posts block creates contextual internal links that distribute PageRank across your site. * **Improves dwell time**, a positive engagement signal for search engines. #### Perfect For * Blogs and content-heavy WordPress sites * News and magazine themes * Affiliate and review sites aiming to reduce exit rate * Publishers looking to improve internal linking without manual effort * SEO professionals wanting automatic related post links throughout content #### Privacy This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It is fully GDPR-compliant. ## Screenshots [⌊Design 1 – Solid color card with arrow CTA and section title displayed above the box.⌉⌊Design 1 – Solid color card with arrow CTA and section title displayed above the box.⌉[ Design 1 – Solid color card with arrow CTA and section title displayed above the box.

[[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `mevabi-related-posts-inline` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,** or** install directly via **Plugins Add New** in your WordPress admin and search for “Mevabi Related Posts Inline”. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Go to **Settings Related Posts Inline** to configure placement, design, colors, and typography. ## FAQ ### Will related posts show on pages, archives, or custom post types? No. Related posts are injected only on single blog posts (`is_single()`), within the main query loop. Pages, archives, and custom post types are not affected. ### What happens if a post has no matching category or tag? No related posts block will be shown. The post content is returned completely unmodified. ### What happens if the content has fewer than two paragraphs and inline mode is selected? The plugin automatically falls back to appending the related posts block at the end of the content, so something always appears even on very short posts. ### Does Design 3 require a featured image on related posts? No. If a related post has no featured image, the card is displayed without the image column. Design 3 gracefully degrades to a layout similar to Design 1. ### Is the excerpt safe from shortcode execution? Yes. All shortcode tags are stripped with a regex pass before the text is sanitized with `wp_strip_all_tags()`, so no shortcode is ever executed inside the excerpt area. ### Can I use this plugin on a multisite installation? Yes. Settings are stored per-site using the standard WordPress options API, so each site in the network can have its own independent configuration. ### How is “related” determined? In the free version, you can choose either categories or tags as the matching taxonomy. Posts that share the most terms with the current post are surfaced first. ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. Mevabi uses no jQuery, no external libraries, and makes no external HTTP requests. It outputs a single small CSS file and uses vanilla JavaScript only when needed. The performance impact is negligible. ### How many related posts can I show? The free version supports 1, 2, or 3 related posts per block. ### Is there a Pro version? Yes. Mevabi Pro unlocks additional designs (Designs 4–6), advanced relation types( shared tags + categories, manual exclusions, minimum word count filtering), a click- tracking Stats dashboard, and more display modes. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mevabi – Related Posts Inline” is open source software.
