 * The plugin is installed and activated on my site, but no related products are
   displayed except for the default WC output. When I deactivated the plugin, then
   the related products appeared below the WC “You may also like…” products. Then
   I completely uninstalled the plugin and cleared the cache, but nothing changed.
   Both groups of related products were still there. Then I reinstalled the plugin,
   and the related products disappeared except for the WC items. So I must keep 
   this plugin installed, otherwise both groups are displayed. Ideas?

 * Hello Dave, do you still need help with this one?
    It sounds like a caching issue(
   browser or server ).

 * Hi Vagelis, I have been unable to figure this out. When I set the number of displayed
   products to 2 on the settings page, 2 related products are displayed on the product
   pages. When I uninstall the plug-in, 4 related products are displayed. To prevent
   any related products from being displayed, I have to keep the plug-in installed
   with the number of display products set to zero.
 * Since I am using the default WC linked products feature, I really don’t need 
   this plug-in. I would like to uninstall it, but unfortunately that results in
   both groups being displayed at once. I found someone else with the same problem
   in the WooCommerce forum at wordpressDOTorg/support/topic/cannot-turn-off-related-
   products/. Maybe my database is corrupted or something got injected into the 
   theme… just guessing.

 * Thanks for the link, my plugin is not installed on your website.
    I checked the
   installation folder and it’s not there, I also checked autoptimize’s folder to
   make sure that I didn’t get blocked by your server.
 * Can you check under wp-content/ for “woo-related-products-refresh-on-reload”

 * I don’t understand why that’s not working from the front end.
    Do you have any
   other caching except the autoptimize ?
 * Could you disable it for a while ?

 * pro-tip; you can disable Autoptimize on a per-request basis by adding `?ao_noptimize
   =1` to the URL.
 * hope this helps debugging,

 * OK great so we now get your theme’s default output.
    There’s nothing wrong with
   that. You can easily disable that.
