## Opis

[Contextual Related Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/)
is a powerful WordPress plugin that displays fast, intelligent related posts to 
keep users on your site longer. Improve SEO, increase pageviews, and lower bounce
rates — no setup needed.

### Key features

 * **Activate and Forget**: Activate the plugin. Contextual Related Posts automatically
   displays related posts on your site and in your feed after the content. There
   is no need to edit any template files.
 * **Custom Control with Manual Install**: Want placement control? You have multiple
   options available:
    - **Gutenberg / Block Editor support**: You can easily add a “Related Posts [
      CRP]” block to any post or page with its options and settings.
    - **Widgets**: Add related posts to any widgetized theme area, such as the sidebar
      or footer. You can configure the widget options to suit your needs.
    - **Shortcode**: Use `[crp]` to display the related posts anywhere within the
      post content.
 * **REST API**: Fetch related posts for any post ID using `contextual-related-posts/
   v1/posts/<id>/`. You can also use query parameters to filter or sort the results.
 * **The algorithm**: Find related posts based on the current post’s title and/or
   content. You can also find posts by tags, categories and selected custom fields.
 * **Caching**: Related posts output is automatically cached as visitors browse 
   through your site, reducing the load on your server and improving performance.

**[View Demo](https://demo.webberzone.com)**

Contextual Related Posts uses an intelligent algorithm that analyzes your post’s
title and/or content to find the most related ones. This way, you can show your 
visitors more awesome content and keep them on your site longer.

With Contextual Related Posts, you can quickly boost your site’s traffic, reduce
bounce rates, and refresh old entries. It’s fast, flexible, and easy to use. Try
it today and see the difference for yourself!

Additional features include:

 * **Exclusions**: Exclude posts from specific categories or tags from being displayed
   in the related posts list.
 * **Custom post types**: The related posts list supports posts, pages, attachments,
   or any other custom post type on your site.
 * **Thumbnail support**: Display thumbnails or not!
 * **Styles**: The output of the related posts list is wrapped in CSS classes that
   allow you to style it easily using custom CSS code.
 * **Customizable output**: Display post excerpts in the related posts list. Customize
   the HTML tags and attributes used to display the output.
 * **Extendable code**: Many filters and actions allow developers to easily add 
   features, modify outputs, or integrate with other plugins.

### MySQL FULLTEXT indices

On activation, the plugin creates three MySQL FULLTEXT indices (or indexes), which
are leveraged to find the related posts. [Learn more about how the algorithm works](https://webberzone.com/support/knowledgebase/contextual-related-posts-algorithm/).

If you’re running a multisite installation, an index is created for each blog upon
activation. These indices occupy space in your MySQL database but are essential 
for running the plugin.

Two options on the settings page allow you to remove these indices when deactivating
or deleting the plugin. The latter is true by default.

The CRP plugin has been working as a treat for our site, which hosts thousands of
posts. It has performed flawlessly for years. Recently, we encountered a caching
issue, but thanks to the outstanding support team, it was resolved quickly and efficiently.
They even provided us with the exact code needed to fix the problem.

## Dnevnik promjena

#### 4.2.2

 * Bug fixes:
    - Hardened REST API permission checks and argument sanitization.
    - Escaped `post_class()` output more safely.
    - Added validation before `switch_to_blog()` calls in the table manager.
    - Added ABSPATH protection to the sidebar template.
    - Fixed the random order widget setting using the correct boolean field.
    - Typecast numeric limit values to ensure they are properly captured as integers.

#### 4.2.1

 * Bug fixes:
    - Bulk edit not saving manual related posts when input is ‘0’ or empty.
    - Translation function usage in bulk edit manual related posts label.
    - Unauthorized edit-context access in REST API – now properly checks post edit
      capabilities.

#### 4.2.0

Release post: [https://webberzone.com/announcements/contextual-related-posts-v4-2-0/](https://webberzone.com/announcements/contextual-related-posts-v4-2-0/)

 * Značajke:
    - [Pro] Multisite tool to copy Contextual Related Posts settings between sites
      from the Network Settings page.
    - [Pro] WooCommerce integration with ECSI-powered product indexing and related
      posts output on product pages. WooCommerce-related products output customisation
      options (thumbnail, sale badge, price, rating, and add to cart) and product
      filtering options.
    - [Pro] Server Load Threshold setting to skip CRP queries when MySQL is backlogged.
      [Learn more](https://webberzone.com/support/knowledgebase/server-load-threshold-setting-in-contextual-related-posts-pro/).
    - [Pro] Bot Protection setting to short-circuit CRP for known crawlers and bots,
      preserving resources and analytics integrity.
    - [Pro] Comprehensive WP-CLI command suite for advanced management, including
      database operations, cache management, custom table indexing, and content 
      processing. Commands include `wp crp db`, `wp crp cache`, `wp crp tables indexes`,
      and more, with full multisite support.
    - [Pro] If Pro is active, the plugin renames “Exclude Categories” and “Exclude
      on Categories” to “Exclude Terms” and “Exclude on Terms” with support for 
      all public custom taxonomies.
    - Media Handler now supports the FIFU WordPress plugin for featured image detection.
 * Modifications:
    - [Pro] Added a “Save & Clear Cache” button on the settings page to purge cached
      results immediately after saving changes.
    - Cache key generation differentiates between the HTML cache and the Posts cache.
      Cache key generation has been significantly optimized to limit the number 
      of keys.
    - Improved Media Handler to reduce recursion, generate more reliable resized
      thumbnails, and better detect image alt text and attributes.
    - Settings framework refactored from static to instance methods with Tom Select-
      powered AJAX taxonomy search for a smoother admin experience.
    - Refreshed built-in related posts styles (grid, masonry, rounded thumbs and
      thumbs grid) with CSS custom properties for improved responsiveness and easier
      theming.
    - Migrated post meta storage from single `crp_post_meta` array to individual`
      _crp_*` keys for better performance and compatibility. Includes a backward
      compatibility layer and an admin migration tool.
    - Updated custom table sync to generate a post excerpt if the post doesn’t contain
      one. It will also include the keyword set in the meta field.
    - CRP_Core_Query class now accepts `post_id` as the primary parameter, supporting
      both integer and WP_Post object types. The legacy `postid` parameter is deprecated
      and will trigger a warning; it will be removed in a future release.
    - Change CRP_CACHE_TIME to a week, down from a month.
    - Updated bundled Freemius SDK to version 2.13.0.
 * Bug fixes:
    - Fixed a missing `echo` in the Media Handler that could prevent some image 
      markup from being printed in specific cases.
    - Improved translation string handling in the settings UI and adjusted Plugin
      Check rules to avoid false positives.
    - Fixed display issue with special characters (like ™ and ®) in post titles.
    - CRP_Core_Query was incorrectly called more than once within the same request.
