How can I customise the output?

Several customization options are available via the Settings page in WordPress Admin. You can access this via Settings » Related Posts

The plugin also provides you with a set of CSS classes that allow you to style your posts by adding code to the style.css sheet. In a future version, I will be adding in CSS support within the plugins Settings page.

The following CSS styles are available:

• crp_related: ID of the main wrapper div

• crp_title: Class of the span tag for title of the post

• crp_excerpt: Class of the span tag for excerpt (if included)

• crp_thumb: Class of the post thumbnail img tag

How does the plugin select thumbnails?

The plugin selects thumbnails in the following order:

1. Post Thumbnail image: The image that you can set while editing your post in WordPress > New Post screen

2. Post meta field: This is the meta field value you can use when editing your post. The default is post-image

3. First image in the post: The plugin will try to fetch the first image in the post

4. Video Thumbnails: Meta field set by Video Thumbnails

5. Default Thumbnail: If enabled, it will use the default thumbnail that you specify in the Settings screen
