    Hi, your plugin is wonderfully simple to set up and use, and my client really likes the way that you assign related posts manually with the metabox. The problem is, we don’t want any posts to show any related posts unless they are added manually. Is there any way to have the plugin work ONLY when a related post is assigned to an article via the metabox?

    Hi @altimac,
    Thanks for your post.

    We already have this feature available. When trying to edit a post, you can find this option setting under the sidebar panel. Kindly follow the screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/aLUE0P3.png

    Thanks for your response. I guess I am not asking my question correctly. When your plugin is enabled, EVERY post on our site shows related posts. What we would like to do is restrict this to ONLY those posts where we set the related posts manually using the featured you noted above. Is that possible, or does every post have to show related posts as long as the plugin is enabled?

    Hi @altimac,
    We just added this feature and updated the plugin. Could you please install the latest version, 2.0.47 and give it a try?

    First, you can Disable the default behavior.

    Then show related posts by force for any specific posts.

    Raju, this is awesome, thank you so much for doing this so quickly! I disabled the Posts option entirely in the settings, and then when manually adding three related posts to another post, I now see the “Display related post by force” checkbox. With that checked, only this post shows related posts, and all other posts on our site do not.

    We really appreciate that you were able not only to do this, but to do it so quickly, even sooner than you had promised. We don’t actually need the Pro version, but we are going to buy it now anyway out of respect for the way you listen to and respect the requests of users who aren’t even paying for the plugin.
