Preguntas frecuentes

Why can’t I see any related content under my posts ?

To display related content, Ripple will search for post with identical taxonomies : for example tags and categories.

Ripple will take in account every existing taxonomies existing inside your website, so feel free to abuse of them !

How does Ripple ranks related contents ?

Ripple defines the relevance of each related content based on matching taxonomies. The more a post have identical taxonomies with another post, the more its relevancy will be high !

If several posts have the same relevancy, then the more recent post will be considered as the more relevant.
