Description
EA Inline Related Articles Pro automatically injects contextually relevant articles directly inside your post content, without requiring you to edit existing posts.
Unlike traditional related-post widgets that appear only at the bottom of articles, this plugin places related content within the article flow, increasing visibility and engagement.
It is built specifically for:
* News websites
* Digital newspapers
* Blogs with long-form content
* SEO-focused publishers
The plugin works on already published posts and is safe for production use.

- Category-based fallback relevance
- Lightweight and performance-friendly
