# Introduction to Related Posts

The Related Posts feature in [PublishPress Taxonomies](https://publishpress.com/links/taxonomies) allows you to show content that is related to the current post.

This feature works by checking for shared taxonomy terms. So if your post has the terms "Vegetables" and "Food", then this feature will likely display other posts that also have the terms "Vegetables" and "Food". The more terms that are shared, the more likely a post is to show in the "Related Posts" feature.
