    I have pages checked under “Exclude display of related posts on these post types.”, and I also put the ID for the page into “Exclude display of related posts on these posts / pages”, but I still get related posts on pages, including the one specifically excluded. I’m using an old theme, is there theme support required to make exclusions work?

    The plugin works completely independent of your theme. Does your theme come with its own related posts? i.e. do you see the related posts if you have my plugin disabled?

    Theme does not have any related posts functionality, and disabling your plugin does make the related posts go away, but that seems to be the only thing that does. Since I want them on posts (but not pages) this is unfortunate.

    I found the problem. My theme has already been modified (incorrectly, apparently) for Contextual Related Posts. The line:

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

    Was causing the related posts to appear regardless of the config settings.

    My assertion the theme didn’t already have related posts support in it was obviously incorrect. I should have said there wasn’t support for some other related posts plugin. 😉

    Glad to know you figured this one out. And, I’m even happier to know that themes actually come with support for Contextual Related Posts!

    May I know which theme is this one?

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

    forces the plugin to display the posts.
