    Plug in is great! I’m trying to set it up so that if there aren’t any related posts some default text is shown.

    my goal is:
    – if there are related posts:
    – show this title and all the related posts (this part is working great)
    – if there aren’t any related posts:
    – show a different title and some set links

    I found it!

    Use this code if you want default text to show if there are no related links chosen with this plugin:

    <?php $related_links = get_related_links(true);
if ($related_links) {
?>
	 <?php foreach ($related_links as $link): ?>
        <p><strong><?php echo $link["type"]; ?></strong> <br>
<a href="<?php echo $link["url"]; ?>"><?php echo $link["title"]; ?></a></p>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
	<p>display this default text</p>
<?php } ?>

    yeah. or check the count of the array. btw: the trueargument in get_related_links is wrong.

    $related_links = get_related_links();
if(count(related_links) == 0)
{
  // no links
}
else
{
  // has links
}
