"Neural Network: a system inspired by the brain that learns by analysing data and improves its accuracy over time."
A.I. is transforming the way websites function, offering a range of benefits for both businesses
and website visitors. One key advantage is the ability to personalize the user experience. A.I.
can analyse user behaviour, recommending content, articles, products, courses or services tailored
to their interests. This not only keeps visitors engaged but also increases the likelihood of
conversions, whether it's a purchase, signup, or another desired action.
Unleash the Power of AI-Driven Content
Stop letting great content get buried! Save time and stop manually adding & managing related
content links within your WordPress site by making your website "smart" instead.

The plugin works by monitoring which parts of your website a visitor looks at. By remembering
what they visit it can determine which items are most likely to be relevant to other visitors
who look at similar content. It can then use it's neural network to recommend the linked
content which has the strongest links to other visitors. It sounds simple and it is very easy
to use the plugin, but it is quite complex behind the scenes. The suggested items will improve
and become more accurate as more visitors access your site, i.e. it learns and gets smarter.
By examining your visitors behaviour, the URLs they visit, and by not examining the actual page contents,
it will work with items in any language, even those which don't contain text and those which get updated periodically.
Related Posts Neural Network will work with text articles, photo galleries, calendar items,
course information, product videos etc. without the need to add taxonomies, categories or any
manual key words or links.
Features
As it works by examing the URLs, the plugin will work with all content types in all languages a
user may visit. For example articles, products, pages, blog posts, courses, photo galleries etc.
No visitor statistics or data leaves your website. Nothing is processed externally. Everything
is done locally using no third party services. The custom written A.I. is built entirely within
the plugin.
The plugin is written to be efficient so there should not be any noticable affect on the speed of your website.
No identifiable information is collected from your visitors, helping it abide by GDPR and privacy rules.
As well as suggesting content visitors may also be interested in, and showing the site administrators the links
between content, it also shows admins the number of visitor sessions accessing each URL.
It is easy to install and set up for pretty much any WordPress site.
Works with the Gutenberg Block editor and Classic editor, and should work with any theme.
Insert suggestions in your content with a simple WordPress shortcode such as [rpnnrecommend] so it
can be put into individual pages or added to theme files.

FREE vs PRO
The plugin is free to download and use for as long as you like. There is extra functionality which
is unlocked if you upgrade to the PRO version for a small fee.
FREE Version
Limited to 30 links between items.
Charts only show the top 10 items/URLs and top 30 links.
PRO Version
Unlimited Neural Net size (within your database and hosting constraints).
Charts show up to 500 items/URLs and top 1500 links.
Manually adjust the strength of links between URLs to help force or discourage recommended content.
Automatic download of search engine bots/crawlers/spiders list to prevent them affecting the neural net.
Automatic download of known "bad" IP address list to prevent them affecting visitor stats.
The easiest way to install the plugin is from your WordPress dashboard. Click "Plugins" from the left hand panel, then "Add New Plugin". In the search box
type "related posts neural network" and you will see the plugin from Neil T King. Install and
activate it, then go to it's settings from that left hand panel. Simple!
Click the link in the plugin settings to register and unlock the PRO features.
Inserting Suggested Content
It is very easy to display some recommended links to visitors. All you need to do is insert the shortcode
[rpnnrecommend]
where ever you want it to list some suggested links. By default it will show
3 suggestions with thumbnails of their featured image. You can adjust how it appears by adding parameters
like:
which would suggest six items the visitor might be interested in, without featured image
thumbnails, and assign the CSS class called "myclass" to it. The "title"
parameter lets you assign some title text (h3) before the suggestions to match your site.
Examples could be "You might also like..." or "Other products customers looked at...".
You can insert a similar shortcode into template files using the PHP command:
echo do_shortcode("[rpnnrecommend]");
By adding your own CSS class you can control pretty much every aspect of how the suggestions are
displayed. There is a built-in additional CSS class you can use to produce a vertical list of
recommended links called "recommendedlist".
NOTE: If there aren't the required number of links to show (for example if you have not received enough
visitors to build sufficient connections) then it will show as many as it can. If there aren't any
links to show at all, e.g. nobody has visited the page and any other pages in the same visit, then the
plugin will not display any suggestions or the "title" to prevent empty spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there anything I need to do before I install the plugin?
ALWAYS make a backup of your website before making changes or installing new plugins,
just in case. Even better, copy your website to a test server and try out the plugin
there first. There should not be any issues and the plugin is easy to uninstall if
needed, but it is better to be safe than sorry. As long as you are running WordPress as
the content management system driving your website and are able to install custom
plugins, it should work. Try the plugin for free to ensure you are happy
before considering paying for the PRO features. As WordPress is so flexible and
there are is so much customisation possible I cannot guarantee it will work on every
instance, and cannot be held responsible for any issues that arise.
Also, make sure you are happy with your permalinks or URL structure before enabling
"learning" in the plugin settings as it will start learning from them straight away.
Can it be told to only suggest some content and not others?
Yes. In the settings for the plugin you can set what must appear in the URL for it to be
included in the neural network, for example /blog/ will include any URL that contains that
term. You can also tell it to exclude all URLs which contain certain key terms.
What about search terms and other variables in the URL?
You can tell it to strip all GET variables from the URL if you wish, or just certain ones.
By default, WordPress tends to add search terms to the URL using an "s" variable
so just that can be removed if you like. An example URL containing a GET variable named "s" would be:
https://www.mysite.123/?s=something
If you are using permalinks for your URLs and not relying on ID numbers added as GET variables to the URL then I
recommend setting the option to strip all GET variables.
Is there a time limit for the free version of the plugin?
No. You can use the free version for as long as you like but it does have limits on the
amount of content and links it will use to build the neural network. This might be
enough for smaller sites and should be enough for you to try the plugin and ensure it works
fully before you decide if you want to purchase the PRO version. You get some other
benefits from registering too, such as the automatic updating and detecting of search
engine spiders and bad IP addresses, plus email support if you need it.
Is the PRO version a subscription service?
No, there is no subscription needed. Unlocking the PRO features is a one-time fee for the
lifetime of the product.
Will it suggest links on other websites?
No. The plugin only learns from URLs accessed on your website, and will only form links
to other URLs within your website.
Does the plugin send data to you or share information with anyone else?
No. It checks in with my server to see if you are a registered PRO user
and if you are, it periodically downloads updated search bot and bad IP lists. No visitor
data or statistics leave your server and nothing is shared with any third parties.
Security and privacy is very important.
What if I change the permalink structure or URLs in my website?
The plugin is smart enough to know if pages or posts etc. are no longer there (e.g.
deleted) and will not recommend them any more, but it cannot know if something has
moved. It will think the original was deleted and a new one created. This is why it is
important to ensure your website URLs are formatted how you
want them to be before switching on "Learning Mode". You can wipe the Neural Net and
start again if needed from the settings area (under the "Reset" tab) but there is no
way to undo a reset. The brain will be washed clean! If you unlock the PRO version
you can delete individual URLs and their links from the neural net within settings area.
Does it use ChatGPT or Google Gemini etc. for it's Artificial Intelligence?
No. Those are LLMs (Large Language Models) and aren't required for a single, specialised
task like this. The machine learning system built for this plugin is unique and entirely
self-contained within the plugin so there is no need to use any external services.
The neural network built for this plugin is based on the model in my book
"Make Independent Computer Games",
available from Amazon and other book stores.
Will you install it on my website for me?
I have tried to make the plugin as simple to set up as possible. It is already quite
easy to install plugins into WordPress, but if you really need help I would be happy
to assist. I would have to charge for my time and either have access to your website or
go through the installation via a video call where you can share your screen. Contact
me for a quote.
What is your background and why did you write this plugin?
I have been writing software for decades and spent 20 years working in education. I
have written software for many industries including education, automotive, child safety,
medical and gaming. Artificial Intelligence, and especially neural networks, have been an
interest of mine for some time. I have built a few for specialist tasks and as I build
websites and cloud based applications I thought a WordPress plugin would be very useful
for my clients and anyone else with a WordPress website.
