Plugin

The content plugin prints the list under the article only when Show after the article is on.

Open System > Plugins > Content - Easy Related Articles. The Display tab holds the visitor-facing options. The Style tab holds columns and colors.

• Show after the article: off by default. When on, the block is appended on a single article view, not on a category blog.
• Heading and Heading element (h2, h3, or div). Clear the heading to hide it.
• When nothing is assigned: Shared tags, then same category, or Show nothing.
• Layout and Maximum articles (1 to 24, default 4). Read next always shows one article.
• Show or hide the image, title, category, author, date, excerpt, tags, hits, and read more link.

Keep the plugin enabled even when Show after the article is off. The article field and the module both need it.
