[Plugin: Related Posts Slider Version 2.0] How to stop the automatic slide show?

I found the solution :

Goto wp-content/plugins/related-posts-slider/formats/h_carousel/js/

then edit rps.js

replace
if (typeof opts.auto.play!= 'boolean')opts.auto.play= true;

with
if (typeof opts.auto.play!= 'boolean')opts.auto.play= false;

Hope that helps !

explain your problem @fringer

use the shortcode -> [rps] and put the plugin somewhere outside the post content.

Because I believe you have put the plugin somewhere near or in the post content.
