An update to the comment above is to make sure the body tag of the specific page is targeted, so it does not hide the related posts on every page. When a static page is set, the body class uses the home class.

body.home div.yarpp-related {
    display: none;
}

Hello Everybody.

I just installed this plugin for my blog that has a static page with “the latest post” at the top. I had this issue with Posts checked and everything else unchecked.

After trying to figure out whether there was an issue with my custom loop on the front page, I decided that hiding it with CSS is easy and works well.

In your theme’s stylesheet where the static page’s css is referenced (or if it is in a separate stylesheet), simply insert something like this:

div.yarpp-related {
	display: none;
}

This still loads the Related Posts on the front page, but hides it. Hope this helps.

I don’t know how helpful this will be as it was written with GIMP in mind, but I wrote a series of tutorials (Squidoo lenses) that take the reader from the digital mock up of the site to conversion to a stand alone WordPress theme. The first part is Creating a Fancy Website Layout in Gimp 2.6, but if your theme is already designed, you can check out the second part, How To Slice Up Graphics for XHTML and CSS or even Converting a Static HTML Site into a WordPress Theme- Part 1.

The final tutorial mentioned has links to similar tutorials written by other authors as well.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Hello again.
I just realized that I gave a height of 2.5em in the child theme I was referring to when I posted. It will probably be necessary to adjust top: 0 in ems or pixels several times by trial and error until each is in place. After working with two different child themes, each of mine had different numbers for the menu list’s top positioning.

I don’t know if you have already found an answer to this question, but I was working on the same issue in IE7 as well and figured it out.
I read a comment on this page https://css-tricks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4671 to add top: 0 to the div menu’s second and third list items.
In the Sandbox’s stylesheet, the height of div#menu is set to 1.5em.
So after playing with the positioning of the top of the inner list items, I got div#menu ul li ul { top: 2.5em; } for the menu’s first inner list and div#menu ul li ul li ul { top: 1.5em; } for the second inner list.
It would be a good idea to place these in a conditional comment specifically for IE. This page (https://themeshaper.com/functions-php-wordpress-child-themes/) on Theme Shaper explains how to do this for a Sandbox child theme.

Good luck.
