 * 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.
