   Turn off the "automatic display" option, then you can write some code in your theme:

   if (check custom field is set here)
   related_posts();

   HI
   Thanks for your responce.Need some more clarification on this.
   1. create a custom field by editing the post.
   2. Turn off the "automatic display" option under Plugins -->Yet Another Related Posts Plugin --> settings --->display options for your website ---> then uncheck the automaticall display related posts.
   After above changes i have written below code in yarpp-template-example.php page.

   <?php /*
   Example template
   Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
   */
   ?><h3>Related Posts</h3>

   < ?php query_posts('meta_key=review_type&meta_value=movie'); ?>

   <?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>

   <?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
   1. " rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?><!-- (<?php the_score(); ?>)-->

   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php else: ?>
   <p>No related posts.</p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   this is the right way to display related posts only when custom filed is set in a post.
   I am new to wordpress.Please help me out to resolve this issue.

   HI
   below code i am using to display related posts only when custom filed is set in a post.
   But its not working.Please let me know where i am going wrong.

   <?php /*
   Example template
   Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
   */

   <h3>Related Posts</h3>

   <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'hide_yarpp', true) ) : ?>

   <?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>

   <?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
   1. " rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>

   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php else: ?>
   <p>No custom filed.</p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   You don't want to do this in a custom template. You want to do this in your your theme's template.
