# Manually Related Posts Issue

 * Hello, I have CRP installed in my WP, under each blog post I manually select 
   other posts, sometime there is one related post, sometimes 2 or 3.
    it used to
   show only posts that I had set manually and correctly, but all of a sudden it
   changes and now if I have maximum related posts set to 5 it shows all 5, first
   three ( or two or 1 ) are the ones I have selected manually and the rest are 
   selected automatically.
 * can you please help with this one ?
 * p.s. I went through support blog and clearing cached did not help.

 * Hi, i’m a bit confused – are you saying that when you add the manual posts using
   the metabox below the posts you don’t want the automatic ones included?
 * This isn’t a feature of the plugin as the manual posts are prioritized and included
   with the automatic ones padded.

 * Hello [@ajay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajay/) thanks for reply, what
   I mean is following:
 * for instance i have 5 relevant posts in setting and i include manually only 2
   of them, the rest 3 posts are chosen automatically by the system.
 * isn’t system supposed to show only 2 posts at this moment, just the ones I added
   manually ?

 * No, it just puts the 2 manual posts in the list of 5 but keeps to the rest of
   the automatic setting. If you want to not show the automatic post, then you’ll
   need to enter the same number of manual posts as the number of posts you set 
   in the Settings page
