   I ran across an error today - if multiple links/posts are assigned to multiple categories, both category's links/posts will show - creating duplicates in the list of related links/posts. There might be an easier way to fix this, but this is what I did:

   In the plugin folder, open the file "related-links-by-category.php"

   Right before this code: (should be around line 27)
   foreach((get_the_category($post->ID)) as $category) {

   Paste the following code on a new line:
   $already_listed = array();

   Replace: (starting at line 34)
   

   foreach($catposts as $p) {
       if ($d <= $data['disp']) {
           if ($cur_id != $p->ID) {
               $related .= '<li><a href="'.get_bloginfo('home').'/?p='.$p->ID.'">'.$p->post_title.'</a></li>';
               $d++;
           }
       }
   }

   With the following code:
   

   foreach($catposts as $p) {
   	if ($d <= $data['disp']) {
   		if ($cur_id != $p->ID) {
   			if (!in_array($p->ID, $already_listed)) {
   				$already_listed[] = $p->ID;
   				$related .= '<li><a href="'.get_bloginfo('home').'/?p='.$p->ID.'">'.$p->post_title.'</a></li>';
   			}
   		}
   		$d++;
   	}
   
   }

   Hey thanks, I knew about this but I wasn't sure if it was considered a bug or not. I'll fix this in an update soon.
