The Related Post Block is a specialized content-discovery tool designed specifically for Single Page Templates. It functions as a dynamic recommendation engine that automatically cross-references the current article’s taxonomies (such as categories or tags) to suggest similar content to your readers. This block is essential for increasing “page depth” and keeping visitors engaged with your site by showing them more of what they just finished reading.

Unlike a standard post grid, this block operates on a Contextual Query. It identifies the terms assigned to the current post and pulls a refined list of related entries from your database. Because it relies on this specific relationship, it requires a custom query configuration; it will not function if the query type is set to “Default,” as it needs instructions on which specific taxonomies to use for the matching logic.

A Contextual Query is a dynamic filtering method that retrieves content based on the environment of the current page rather than a fixed set of rules.
