Quick Start

Get your first relationship working in a few minutes.

1. Add a relationship in the UI

1. Edit any post or page.
2. Find the Content relationships meta box.
3. Choose a relationship type (e.g. Related to).
4. Use the search to add related posts, users, or terms.
5. Update the post.

Relationships are stored in the dedicated table and are available to WP_Query, shortcodes, blocks, and the REST API.

2. Configure (optional)

Go to Settings → Content Relationships to:

• Enable or disable relationship types
• Set constraints (e.g. max connections per post)
• Enable manual ordering for related items
• Configure integrations (WooCommerce, duplicate-post, etc.)

3. Display related content

Use a shortcode in post content or a widget:

[naticore_related_posts type="related_to" limit="5" layout="list"]

Or use the Related Content block in the block editor.
