   I spoke to @yarpp on Twitter and I was told to explain my problem further, so here I go.

   I had edited a template provided with the plugin back in May to provide a YouTube-like display of related posts, as they all contain video players with videos and I came up with this. This included Woo themes' custom function for displaying thumbnails and the call to display number of views, from Lester Chan's WP Post-Views plugin.

   <?php /*
   Example template
   Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
   */
   ?>
   <?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>
   <ol>
   	<?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
   	<li>
   	<?php woo_get_image('image','64','64'); ?>
   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
   <small><?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?></small></li>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   </ol>
   <?php else: ?>
   <p>No related posts.</p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   This worked well until the YARPP update yesterday. The related posts are still displayed, but it seems to be ignoring the calls for these two functions. I was wondering how to solve this as I literally did not touch anything.

   Thanks in advance!

   Are you loading YARPP as a widget, automatically, or manually with related_posts()?

   As a widget.

   (Sorry for the late reply, been SUPER-busy).

   @SupersonicSquirrel YARPP doesn't use custom templates for widgets... this'll change in the future someday, but in the mean time if you want to use a custom template, you should manually add related_posts() to your theme where you want it, so it displays like a widget.
