To adjust the mix of Promoted Content posts that appear with Related Content, use the slider found in the Monetization tabs of your Related Posts settings.

How to Customize Promoted Content Settings

  2. Select a Site Profile from the My Sites dropdown at the top of the page. Skip this step if you're in a plugin admin panel.
  3. Under the 'Monetization' section, click on the Configure button located next to Promoted Content Ads.

  5. IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ!) - In addition, you can also set overrides for each Related Post In-Page app location. Override settings take precedence over the general "Promoted Content Ads" settings. So if you've set an override, you will need to edit each location going forward.
