I put it in my theme editor and my entire website disappeared. Had to go back to the cpanel and reinstall it. I see a YARPP in my widget but when I tell it to add, nothing happens. I don't see it on the site. Anyway, just went back to the original version and that's working great! The problem was with the added code.

As far as I understand, the new version of YARPP comes with an improved sidebar widget. I personally haven't updated to the latest version because I've modified an older version to fit my needs more specifically. The code I shared on this post is what I use. Joan,

I guess I never noticed that nothing was showing up on the published page! I tried moving it to my theme folder as they told me to and it still didn't work. I tried this widget code and nearly wiped out my entire blog. had to reinstall my whole theme. It's a great idea but can't get it to work!!!!

I think it would be useful to be able to specify the number of related posts in the sidebar and having the ability to set a different number for the sidebar widget from the post footer. But from looking at the code, it seems that the number of posts shown is universal.

Do you have an idea about a) how to add a number of related items option and b) whether this does any processing that might use the_content function. I have a custom the_content function and it seems to be manipulating the output of this widget as well. Chris. Hi – this is great, I’ve fixed up my widget now.
