In post related posts widget

[MrMedia]

Anyone know of one that does this kind of thing for wordpress - taken from DailyMail. All the related posts plugins I have found have been for sidebar or footer only but as we all know - all the clicks happen in the body of the post.

You can do that with Content.Ad, just create a widget that shows only your own posts. Then place within your post. If you want to do it sitewide, it's easiest if you have an ad inserter plugin (I use AdInserter) and place the Content.Ad code within it.

Another option is Yuzo related posts. Pretty much same thing.

If you're comfortable getting into your theme files, you can use the following code in your single.php to get a selection of random posts that share the same tags as your current post:

<!--Start Related Posts-->
<?php
$orig_post = $post;
global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) {
$tag_ids = array();
foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;
$args=array(
'tag__in' => $tag_ids,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
'posts_per_page'=>6, // Number of related posts to display.
'orderby' => 'rand',
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);

$my_query = new wp_query( $args );

while( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
$my_query->the_post();
?>

<a href="<? the_permalink()?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?><br />
<?php the_title(); ?></a>


<? }
}
$post = $orig_post;
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>
