User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate this WordPress plugin for its simplicity and effectiveness in displaying related posts by categories, which is particularly useful for colorful and varied content sites. They like that it provides options to customize settings such as changing header tags to better fit their blog's aesthetics. The plugin is also favored for avoiding the common pitfalls of other related posts plugins, such as heavy database loads and security risks associated with other methods of selecting related content. However, drawbacks include its tendency to cause database errors under heavy loads and certain minor annoyances, such as unwanted numbering in the display.

I had a case when the site had more than 30,000 posts. Your plugin started doing a lot of queries to the database and the database on the server simply displays connection error.

I wanted a widget in the sidebar, so I’m not using this. However, it does work on a normal WP 4.4.2 install.

I needed something very simple to display relevant posts by categories on my site that has lots videos of cute animals and other videos for kids. I didn’t want thumbnails, just a list of posts because the site is very colorful already. This plugin did a good job, just what I wanted. This is what the post looks like with default settings http://cuddlycutelings.com/cute-happy-birthday-song-minions-despicable-me/ The only thing I changed – Related posts title from </h2> to </h3> to match the sidebar title. The result is nice and clean, just what I wanted.
