## توضیحات

**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:

 1. AI analyzes the content
 2. Finds the top 5 most related existing posts
 3. Creates relationships automatically
 4. 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)

### Bulk Relationship Manager

Go to **Relationships > Bulk Manager** to:

 * View all relationships in a table
 * Select multiple relationships with checkboxes
 * Bulk delete relationships
 * Bulk change relationship type
 * Paginated for large datasets

### Visual Relationship Builder

 * **Search with thumbnails** — Type in the search box and see post thumbnails as
   you type
 * **Drag-and-drop sorting** — Reorder relationships by dragging
 * **One-way or bidirectional** — Choose which direction the relationship flows
 * **User profile relationships** — Connect users to their favorite posts, bookmarks,
   or contributions
 * **Term relationships** — Link categories, tags, or custom taxonomies to content

### Page Builder Integration

**Gutenberg:**
 * “Related Content” block with live preview in the editor * Shows
actual related content, not a placeholder * Configurable: number of posts, layout,
thumbnails, excerpts

**Elementor:**
 * Dynamic tags for Related Posts, Related Users, Related Terms *
Works with any Elementor widget * No configuration needed — auto-detected

**Shortcodes:**
 [naticore_related_posts type=”related_to” limit=”5″] [naticore_related_users
type=”authored_by” limit=”10″] [naticore_related_terms type=”categorized_as” limit
=”5″] [naticore_related_carousel type=”related_to” limit=”10″ autoplay=”1″]

**Widget:**
 “Related Content (NCR)” — add to any sidebar or widget area.

### WooCommerce
