    I currently use “bbPress Topics for Posts” plugin ,which converts normal comment system to topic and reply system by automatically create a topic with the same name as each post name and let users reply in that topic instead.
    The problem is, my related post always have those automatically created topic with the same as the post is (I included ‘topic’ in ‘Post types to include in results:’ because i want to get related topics too). Is there a way to add a filter to exclude that topic with the same name ?

    Does the plugin create the “topic” post type automatically?

    Under exclusion settings you can select topic to stop display of related posts on this post type

    Related post excludes topic post type by default. But I included it by myself because I want other topics to show in related post too, excluding that topic with the same name of each post (automatically created as I explained above).

    ex.
    I write…
    [Post “AAA”]
    Then the plugin automatically create..
    [Topic “AAA”]

    Related posts of Post “AAA” will be
    -Topic “AAA” (most related because it has a same name as post’s”
    -Post “BBB” (normally related)
    -Topic “CCC” (normally related)

    My last choice is to exclude topic post type like you said, I’m not too serious. But if it can do better, It’d be good 🙂

    Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to do this automatically within the plugin because of the style in which the topic / posts are created.

    In v2.2, I’m going to add an extra box in the meta-box on each post page that will allow you to add some post IDs to include / exclude

    However, I won’t be releasing this for at least another 2 months.

    OK, it’s fine. Your plugin is good and I’ll keep using it as normal. It’s might be a hard work but I hope you enjoy working on it 🙂 !

    It is a crazy amount of work because right now it is a one man army!
    But, it feels good that I know a lot of users like this plugin and have considered this as their related posts plugin of choice.

    Do consider writing a review with your thoughts. https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/contextual-related-posts
