Please contact WordPress.com support. I do not work for Automattic or WordPress. I believe that Extras are now part of Tools > Available Tools.

Dear all,

I seem not to be seeing the Extras on the menu in the control panel.
Thanks

[...] This is bad for many reasons, which I’m sure you’ve already thought of. No control. Implied recommendation or endorsement. Inappropriate links. And a lot of confusion for our readers who believe we choose these links or that they will lead to links on our blog related to what we blog about.Source [...]

Hey, just thought I might offer a little suggestion for future viewers’ ease. I had trouble finding the Extras section because the “Design” part kind of threw me off. I didn’t notice any Design button anywhere, but I managed to find Extras after searching for a Design for about fifteen minutes. Don’t get me wrong, I was just saying that just in case you might want to change it.

And thank you very much, I have been getting referals from strange blocks like online dating and fitness therapy for a while and I looked and realized that the Possibly Related Posts was the link. Then I found out that I had possibly relateds on my posts and that angered me, so I searched trustworthy google for help.

Thanks for this post Lorelle. I’m just creating my first WordPress blog and noticed those links showing up. I was startled and tried to figure out how to turn them off myself, but got frustrated and googled the problem and your post was the top hit. Saved me a ton of time.

Thanks so much for sharing the solution for removing these undesired “related posts” links to non-related content. I searched long and hard in the admin panel(s) trying to find out how to disable this feature. I much prefer the control I have on my own self-hosted WordPress blog, but for my daughter’s first start at blogging WordPress.com works just fine. Thanks for sharing the fix.

Thanks for sharing how to turn this off! The link on mine wasn’t inappropriate but rather distracting and tacky-looking! Now, if I could choose a limited set of blogs from which the links would come, THAT might be a different story…
