Styling

When any of these shortcodes is used, the plugin enqueues shortcodes.css. You can override with your own CSS by targeting:

• .naticore-related-posts, .naticore-related-users, .naticore-related-terms
• .naticore-related-list, .naticore-related-grid
• Optional class attribute for your own wrapper class

Widget

The Related Content (NCR) widget uses the same output as the posts shortcode. Add it under Appearance → Widgets; options include title, relationship type, number of items, order, and optional post ID. See Widget.
