Hi Hannah, Ben and Kevin,
I have some trouble to understand how the algorithm behind the option to display a similar posts carousel at the button of a post is working.

I understand (from the same option of the portfolio pages), that I have to set this option to display similar posts and each post. But even than the them shows me any of my posts. They are common in the category (the “blog” and “deutsch” category), but they didn’t share the tags nor the text of the posts:
*Login to see link to/en/2016/10/25/hapag-lloyd-headquarter/

It looks like, the similar posts are fetched only by using the category. But my categories are for technical reasons. Every blogpost will get the “blog” category and a language category (“english”, “deutsch”) to support the post newsletter to filter the specific language posts.

Can I force the logic to use tags only?

I love the layout, how the similar post are displayed. An alternativ for me with many options is the “Yet Another Related Posts Plugin”, but it displays simlilar posts just below the text of my post. Do you have a clue to force the layout of that plugin to display it like your implementaion?

Best regards,
Marc
