Calendar

Related

  • * Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
    Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP) gives you a list of posts and/or pages related to the current entry, introducing the reader to other relevant content on your site.
    Very good results with the current 3.x version, take that version 2.1.x is very buggy. It seems to trigger many bugs when one uses bbcode functions used by other plugins.
  • bSuite
    bSuite is a set of tools that help surface interesting and popular stories as well as improve WordPress’ CMS capabilities and usefulness as an application platform. Available widgets can show most popular posts, recently commented posts, or related posts (can also add a listof related posts to the bottom of the post content). Added shortcodes help organize content, allowing you to list all sub-pages of the current page or list all headings within the page. Another shortcode will render RSS feeds into a page or post.
    It can do very much, but i experienced that when this plugin is loaded that the headings are rewritten by the plugin. Therefore I can not use this plugin at all.
