After Dark provides related content to help users find more information that's relevant to them and can increase page views and time spent on your site.

When two or more pages or posts contain the same taxonomy tags
they will be linked in a section as shown near the bottom of the page. The section appears automatically below Post Bylines with a default maximum of 7 items shown.
{{% hackcss-alert type="info" %}}Tip: Create a Custom Layout to show Related Content outside posts.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}
Adjust site-wide maximum from {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/" text="Site Configuration" />}} by adding related_content_limit
:
[params]
related_content_limit = 5 # limit to 5 items maximum site-wide
By default related content will appear as an unordered list of page titles with hyperlinks to their respective pages along with the approximate reading time.
For posts, display thumbnail images instead by adding a related limit:
[params.layout.post.related]
limit = 3
And for each post create a Post Images-formatted resource bundle containing thumbnail
in the name as described in more detail on Custom Homepage.
As with homepage thumbnails, image processing may be adjusted:
[params.layout.post.related]
limit = 4
thumbs = ["fill", "400x400"] # Optional, thumbnail image processing
Set limit
to 0
to hide the related content section.
