A “you might also like” block at the bottom of a single post keeps visitors on the site longer, but it needs to actually match on something relevant to the current post.
Dynamic Listing’s Related Post mode reads the post currently being viewed and queries other posts that share its category, tag, taxonomy, or both.
For the full settings tour of the Dynamic Listing widget, see Dynamic Listing Widget Settings Overview.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
