Make sure on your blog you have installed Awesome Font so that the icon can appear

3. Next, find and change the <data:post.body/> code with the code below

In the template you will find some code <data:post.body/> depending on the template used, try one by one until the related article appears in the article page

<div expr:id='&quot;post1&quot; + data:post.id'/>
<div class='related-simplify'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<script expr:src='&quot;/feeds/posts/default/-/&quot; + data:label.name + &quot;?alt=json-in-script&amp;callback=related_results_labels&amp;max-results=3&quot;' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
<h4>Also read</h4>
<script type='text/javascript'>
removeRelatedDuplicates();
printRelatedLabels();
</script>
</div>
<div expr:id='&quot;post2&quot; + data:post.id'><p><data:post.body/></p></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var obj0=document.getElementById(&quot;post1<data:post.id/>&quot;);
var obj1=document.getElementById(&quot;post2<data:post.id/>&quot;);
var s=obj1.innerHTML;
var t=s.substr(0,s.length/2);
var r=t.lastIndexOf(&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;);
if(r&gt;0) {obj0.innerHTML=s.substr(0,r);obj1.innerHTML=s.substr(r+4);}
</script>
