Post Related

Displays a grid of related posts from the same categories as the current post. It is shown in the block inserter as Post Related and registered as canvas-core/post-related.

Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:

Settings

Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:

Settings

• Post CountDefault0

  0 follows Theme Options → Blog → Single → Related Posts Count.

• Cards AcrossDefault0

  Use 1 in a narrow column (the both-sidebars layout) so cards stack full width instead of being squeezed. 0 follows Theme Options → Blog → Single → Related Posts Columns.

• Card LayoutDefaultThumbnail beside the title

  Stacked cards put a wide image over the title and read as a row of article previews.

  ChoicesThumbnail beside the titleImage above the title

• Card AlignmentDefaulttop

  Aligns each card's thumbnail against its text column. Wider cards read better centred.

• When Nothing Is RelatedDefaultEmpty

  A record filed under a section of its own would otherwise leave an empty band where the recommendations belong.

  ChoicesRender nothing (empty)Show the newest records

• Image SizeDefaultEmpty

  Which registered size each card requests. The stacked layout defaults to the Article Card crop, so a row of cards keeps one height whatever shape each record's own featured image is.

• Meta ItemsDefaultEmpty

  Comma-separated list under each stacked card. Supported: date, reading_time, comments, category. Empty uses the layout default.

• HeadingDefaultRecommended for you

  Title above the related grid. Leave empty to fall back to the default.

• Show Featured ImageDefaultOn

  Not part of the current layout: the image always shows when the related post has one.

• Show Date & AuthorDefaultOn

  Not part of the current layout: has no visible effect.

• Record ClassesDefaultOff

  Marks every related card with the post it shows, its type, its status, its format and the categories and tags it carries. Turn it on so a stylesheet or a plugin can single out one card, one format or one category.
