原文外掛簡介
The first WordPress relationship plugin that thinks for you.
Native Content Relationships connects your posts, users, and terms with a visual drag-and-drop interface. But here’s what makes it different from every other relationship plugin:
AI-powered suggestions analyze your content and recommend the best connections automatically.
No other relationship plugin does this. ACF makes you pick items manually. JetEngine makes you configure field groups. MB Relationships makes you write code. Native Content Relationships reads your content and suggests what should be connected.
Features No Other Plugin Has
1. AI-Powered Suggestions
Click “Suggest related” and the plugin analyzes your content using WordPress 7.0 AI Client. It finds the most relevant posts based on meaning, not just keywords.
2. AI Auto-Link on Publish
When you publish a post, the plugin automatically creates relationships with the most relevant existing content. No manual work needed.
3. Visual Relationship Graph
See how your content is connected. An interactive force-directed graph shows all relationships with color-coded nodes. Drag nodes, zoom, filter by post type.
4. Analytics Dashboard
Know your content health at a glance. See total relationships, connected posts, orphaned content, most referenced posts, and activity over time.
5. Carousel Template
Display related content in a beautiful carousel with [naticore_related_carousel]. Includes prev/next buttons and optional autoplay.
How It Works
Step 1: Install and activate. Database tables create automatically. No configuration needed.
Step 2: Open any post. Find the “Relationships” box below the editor.
Step 3: Click “Suggest related.” The plugin analyzes your content and shows the most relevant posts, complete with thumbnails.
Step 4: Click to connect. One click adds the relationship. Drag to reorder.
Step 5: Display on frontend. Use the Gutenberg block, Elementor dynamic tags, shortcodes, or widget.
AI-Powered Suggestions (WordPress 7.0+)
When you click “Suggest related,” the plugin sends your post’s title, content, and topics to an AI model through the WordPress 7.0 AI Client. The AI analyzes semantic similarity and returns the most relevant posts from your site.
What the AI considers:
* Post title and content meaning (not just keywords)
* Topic and category overlap
* Content freshness and relevance
* Existing relationships (won’t suggest what’s already connected)
Requirements:
* WordPress 7.0 or later
* An AI provider configured in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google)
No AI provider? The plugin falls back to category and tag matching. It still works great — AI just makes it smarter.
AI Auto-Link on Publish
Enable this feature and the plugin works for you automatically. When you publish a post:
AI analyzes the content
Finds the top 5 most related existing posts
Creates relationships automatically
Shows a notice: “5 relationships created. View or edit.”
No other relationship plugin does this.
Visual Relationship Graph
Go to Relationships > Graph to see a visual map of how your content is connected.
Force-directed layout — Nodes arrange themselves based on connections
Color-coded by type — Posts (blue), Users (green), Terms (yellow), Pages (red)
Draggable nodes — Rearrange the graph manually
Zoom and pan — Scroll to zoom, drag to pan
Filter by type — Show only posts, pages, or users
Click to edit — Click any node to open it in the editor
Analytics Dashboard
Go to Relationships > Analytics to see:
Summary cards — Total relationships, connected posts, orphaned posts, avg per post
Relationships by type — Visual breakdown with percentage bars
Most referenced posts — Which content gets linked to most
Most connected posts — Which content links out most
Activity over time — Relationship creation trend (last 30 days)

View all relationships in a table
Select multiple relationships with checkboxes
Bulk delete relationships
Bulk change relationship type

Page Builder Integration
