 * Hi Nicolas,
 * I just installed your plugin and was very impressed since it actually recognized
   the custom posts and ads through the admin settings panel in the classified theme
   that I’m using, although when I test drive it on the front end, I always end 
   up with “No related content found” despite checking all the custom fields in 
   the settings.
 *     ```
       post  page  ad_listing
       category  post_tag  post_format  ad_cat  ad_tag
       ```
   
 * I’m on WP 3.1 latest update and using a Premium theme.

 * Same here, I have tweaked a lot of the settings. Just doesn’t seem to work as
   it only lists returns from the same contributer.
 * I’d pool some resources to have my dev. look at this if any is interested …

 * Cilantro are you following me? lol I posted this note on the official page of
   the plugin right [here](http://www.nkuttler.de/wordpress-plugin/wordpress-related-posts-plugin/).

    Posted by nicolas on 1. March 2011 at 11:59. Did you try the 
   analyze tag yet? It’s usage is described in the readme.txt. Reply to this comment

    No I haven’t and I just realized
   that the plugin actually worked but only under the main Blog posts and not the
   custom posts and custom categories, I’ll try the Analyze tag attempt and update
   you with the outcome.

 * Ah, I don’t check the forums here regularly. I’m glad you found the post 🙂 I’ll
   try to improve that in the future though.

 * Totally understandable Nicolas, hence why I pointed Cilantro in the right direction,
   as you can see, we both have the exact same issue since we’re using the same 
   theme, it’s all about those custom_posts and taxonomies that were introduced 
   in the theme blocking current plug-ins from seeing them and we’re stuck searching
   the web for compatible plugins.

 * Anyone have any luck with this one yet? I tried last month and haven’t had time
   to return to it. One that worked well prior to my theme’s upgrade to custom post-
   types was Similar Posts.

 * [@nkuttler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nkuttler/):
    I has been change
   from YARPP to Better Related Plugin because YARPP plugin doesn’t support related
   Custom Post Type.
 * It’s awesome, But in Better Related Plugin i found a problem. And i have a question.
   
   Can i exclude some certain category from being shown on The Related ? What code
   should i write on single.php ?
 * I’m newbies, and cannot speak english well.
    Thanks for your help.

 * I’m confirming this plugin WORKS with custom posts and its actually smart, picks
   up common tags and categories, the thing is, it all depends on how YOU setup 
   your posts and tags, GOOD JOB Nicolas!
