Hi checked out the code. There isn’t any easy fix as far as I can see.

You’ll need to either remove the excerpt for this page, or alternatively do a manual install in your theme.

Usage: <?php if(function_exists('echo_ald_crp')) echo_ald_crp(); ?> to your template file where you want the related posts to be displayed.

Well I only want the related posts displayed on pages so could I instert

<?php if(function_exists('echo_ald_crp')) echo_ald_crp(); ?>

into the page template page.php file? if so where? the file looks like this

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
	$options = get_option('sf_flexform_options');

	$default_show_page_heading = $options['default_show_page_heading'];

	$default_left_sidebar = $options['default_left_sidebar'];

Here is the pastbin for the page template page.php

https://pastebin.com/fU3MD2Wt

You can put it after:

<?php the_content(); ?> which is line 98 and 108 of the pastebin

That appears to have worked. I gather I will have to do that again any time I update the theme. Is there anything else I should bear in mind or settings I should change?

Thanks for you time and help

That’s the only change you should ideally need to do to update the theme.

You’re welcome. If you do like the plugin, do consider giving a good review that will help other users (or potential users).

Problem, After doing that the exclude display of related posts on these posts / pages funcion no longer works. How to fix?

Thanks

You need to use code like this:

<?php if ( ( function_exists('echo_ald_crp') ) && !is_single(array(17,15,20)) ) {
echo_ald_crp();
}
?>

Change the 17,15,20 with the IDs of the post you want excluded.

I put that over where I had

<?php if(function_exists(‘echo_ald_crp’)) echo_ald_crp(); ?>

and related posts still show on all pages including the pages whose ID I entre.

To be clear I an not wanting to nominate pages to not appear in the list of related post I want to nominate pages for related post not to display on.

That’s what the code I mentioned above should do. prevent display on pages whose ID’s you enter

Unfortunately it does not. related posts still displays on the page IDs that I enter.

This is the page.php paste bin

https://pastebin.com/KepUs8U9

and this is page id 290 that is listed in the exclusion code.

What do I need to change?

Thanks, I have rated the plugin 5 stars BTW
