Kadence Related Content Plugin 1.0.11

The Kadence Related Content plugin is an advanced marketing tool designed to help you interlink different parts of your website—such as blog posts, pages, and WooCommerce products—using customizable carousels.

While the standard Kadence Theme includes a basic "Related Posts" feature, this standalone plugin provides significantly more control, allowing you to manually "hand-pick" exactly which content appears on specific pages.

🚀 Key Features

Cross-Post Type Connections: You can link a blog post to specific products, or a product to a relevant case study.

Manual Selection: Unlike automatic "related" sections that rely on categories/tags, this plugin allows you to select the exact posts or products you want to promote for each individual page.

Carousel Display: Items are displayed in a clean, responsive carousel that can include images, titles, excerpts, post dates, and prices.

Global & Local Settings: You can set a "default" related content carousel for your whole site or override it on a per-post basis.

Conversion Focused: It is primarily used as an upsell tool (e.g., showing a "Buy this gear" carousel at the end of a gear review blog post).

🛠️ How to Use It

Install & Activate: Once installed, go to the bottom of the WordPress side menu to the Related Content menu.

Set Global Defaults: Configure the default look (colors, columns, and mobile behavior) in the plugin settings.

Customize per Post:

Open any Post or Product in the WordPress editor.

Look for the Related Content meta box (usually at the bottom of the page).

Search for and select the specific items you want to display.

Update the page to see the carousel appear at the bottom of your content.
