Simple Related Posts Slider automatically adds a slider containing related articles to the bottom of your WordPress single posts. Depending on how many related articles it finds, it will cycle through up to 12 articles, with a maximum of three articles visible at once.

It is built to work with the "Featured Image" feature of WordPress and only displays related posts that have a featured image set. The title is displayed below the featured image.

The slider is fully responsive and the height and width are automatically determined based on the width of your site.

Simple Related Posts Slider finds related posts by first checking to see if your posts are using the tags feature of WordPress. If you're not using tags, it then looks through related categories and uses categories instead.

Developer Option

If you do not want the slider to be automatically added, there is a menu option in Settings -> Simple Related Posts Slider to disable it and manually insert this code yourself into the appropriate template file <?php srps()?>.
