Help! No option to turn off 'Related Posts' in Settings -> Reading

    Hello,

    I am new to WordPress (so please be clear), but am hosting a WordPress blog. Everything has been working correctly.

    WordPress has automatically produced a related posts feature below my posts. I would like to to turn this option off. However, I have no option to do so under Settings -> Reading, as many online resources suggest. This article: https://en.support.wordpress.com/related-posts/ shows an option in the screenshots to “hide related content after posts” or to “show related content after posts”. These options do not exist for me.

    The only options I do have after the “Related” section are checkboxes to “Show a “Related” header to more clearly separate the related section from posts” and a “Use a large and visually striking layout”. I can uncheck both, but it only results in the related titles only being shown after each post. What’s going on? Why don’t have the radio buttoned option to turn them on and off?

    Please help! Thank you!

    That’s a document for the blogs at WordPress.com, which is entirely separate from www.remarpro.com. What is the URL of your blog?

    Thanks for the reply!

    My blog is at https://www.uncommongrad.com/blog

    If you click on a post, just under the body of text is the “Related” section. I want to get rid of it entirely. Thanks!

    Looks like you have the Jetpack plugin installed. If you want to disable the related post section, go to Jetpack’s settings (hover your mouse over the Jetpack link in the WordPress dashboard, and click settings). Scroll down until you see the related posts option, and hover your mouse over the row. A disable link should appear, click that, and problem solved.
