It runs once, and only after you confirm it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these steps to complete the upgrade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a backup of your site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update Related Posts Thumbnails to version 6.0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Related Posts<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the <strong>Upgrade settings storage<\/strong> window to open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Proceed<\/strong> to carry your existing values over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review your settings and click <strong>Save Settings<\/strong> if you change anything.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ad82b01cb7f9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ad82b01cb7f9\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1-1024x461.png\" alt=\"Upgrade settings storage window with Proceed button in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0\" class=\"wp-image-323527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1-1024x461.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1-1536x692.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-Upgrade-Settings-Storage-Window-1.png 1913w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The upgrade settings storage window appears once after updating <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upgrade window will not appear again after you click Proceed. A backup first is a simple safety net for any settings change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-changed-with-top-text\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Changed With Top Text?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top Text in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0 accepts plain text only. Top Text is the heading shown above your related posts. Its heading level now comes from a new <strong>Title Tag<\/strong> dropdown, with options from H1 to H6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Setting<\/th><th>Before 6.0<\/th><th>In 6.0<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Top Text content<\/td><td>Could include a heading tag<\/td><td>Plain text only<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Heading level<\/td><td>Set with a tag inside Top Text<\/td><td>Chosen in the Title Tag dropdown (H1 to H6)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Existing heading tags<\/td><td>Stored inside Top Text<\/td><td>Converted for you by the upgrade<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your Top Text used a heading tag before, the one-time upgrade converts it. Check the Title Tag dropdown afterward to confirm the level you want. Most themes suit H2 or H3 here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-which-security-fixes-are-in-related-posts-thumbnails-6-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Security Fixes Are in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0 includes two security fixes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safer block titles.<\/strong> The title field in the Related Posts block is now cleaned before it shows on your site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Admin-only cache cleanup.<\/strong> Only administrators can now clear the Related Posts Thumbnails cache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both fixes apply as soon as you update. You do not need to change any settings. To learn what the cache stores, read <a aria-describedby=\"wpb-a11y-new-tab\" href=\"https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/docs\/related-posts-thumbnails-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how the Related Posts Thumbnails cache works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-should-you-update-to-related-posts-thumbnails-6-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Update to Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, we recommend updating every site to Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0. The security fixes alone make it worth it. You get them even if you never open the new dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update takes a few minutes on most sites. Back up, update, click Proceed, and check your Top Text heading level. Coming from an older version?

It also adds a one-time settings upgrade, plain-text Top Text with a Title Tag dropdown, and two security fixes. The fixes clean block titles and limit cache cleanup to administrators.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-rpt6-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will I lose my settings when I update to Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. The one-time upgrade carries your existing Related Posts Thumbnails settings over after you click Proceed. Take a site backup before you update as a precaution.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-rpt6-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Where are the Related Posts Thumbnails settings in version 6.0?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0 settings are under Related Posts in the left menu of your WordPress dashboard. All options save with one Save Settings button.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-rpt6-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is my Top Text not showing as a heading after the update?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Top Text in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0 is plain text only, so heading tags no longer work inside it. Choose the heading level in the Title Tag dropdown instead. Pick any level from H1 to H6, then click Save Settings.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-rpt6-7\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I place related posts manually instead of after every post?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Related Posts Thumbnails can show related posts through a shortcode, a Gutenberg block, a sidebar widget, or a PHP template function. You can also turn off automatic placement and choose where related posts appear by post type, page type, and category.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-rpt6-6\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who can clear the cache in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Only administrators can clear the cache in Related Posts Thumbnails 6.0.
