## Description

A widget that simply gives you related posts by taxonomy. It provides four
 settings
to customize every widget and there are no global settings to worry about.

**Widget settings**

 1. The title of the widget (default: Related Posts)
 2. The taxonomy by which terms the posts are related (default: Tags)
 3. How many related posts to show (default 5)
 4. excludet terms

The widget is visible only when `is_single()` is true, it doesn’t shows up on
 archives,
search templates etc.

## FAQ

You are wellcome to ask questions directly to me in the Simply-Related-Posts-section

on my blog [http://www.danielauener.com/simply-related-posts/](http://www.danielauener.com/simply-related-posts/)

There is even a github-repository on: [http://github.com/danielauener/wp-simply-related-posts](http://github.com/danielauener/wp-simply-related-posts)

Q. How to add thumbnail images to the related posts list
 A. You can add the ‘simply_related_posts_title’
filter, like add_filter( ‘simply_related_posts_title’, ‘my_related_posts’, 10, 2);
The first argument is a post-object for the related post, the second argument is
the widget instance.
