Code LibraryWhat it changes
This filter appends utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign to links produced by Contextual Related Posts. The sample values are related-posts, internal and crp.
Prefer the built-in feature?
Contextual Related Posts Pro includes UTM tracking parameters, so you can use this feature without maintaining a custom snippet.
What to change
Edit $utm_params to match your campaign naming convention. add_query_arg() replaces existing values for matching parameter names.
Check how your analytics system treats campaign parameters on internal links before enabling this across your site. The snippet adds parameters; it does not configure or verify analytics collection.
Requirements
- Contextual Related Posts
- Contextual Related Posts must be active.
