I'm REALLY happy with Contextual Related Posts, not least because it's well structured and easy to customise. But we have several authors, all with different writing styles, so the content search wasn't always finding the best results. Found this taxonomy plugin - and was a bit worried that it would stop looking for related content as well as tags. Results are excellent, though. Thank you 🙂

Thanks again for this awesome add-on. This is working perfectly on our site which solved the problem we had where in sidebar we had "recent news from company xyz" based on pulling last 5 items from the "user/company" -- but then the 10 bottom of page text CPT items would often be the same simply based on "related" process. Now, we can have that break out to be related items from more broad category items such as other items in "banking" now showing more readily -- and again, not just repeating the same five items already on page. Awesome + sauce = You ! 🙂
