You are a genius! Yes, this beta works with all other plugins deactivated. I will try again with a fresh copy of my live site on the staging server and I will leave the other plugins activated. Update shortly. Thank you!

I have resaved the settings in Settings>Related Posts. There was no confirmation that they were saved, but I made a change to the existing settings and clicked “Save Settings” at the bottom and then I put the change back and clicked on “Save Settings” again. The manual related posts function is still not showing search results.

I should add that as a part of my efforts to get this working again, I have also run the Contextual Related Posts settings wizard several times.

If the Disable Gutenberg plugin is the issue, I should be able to just disable it while I set the manual related posts and then reactivate the Disable Gutenberg plugin, right? I think can do that if there isn’t an easy fix.

Thank you, Ajay.

Glad to hear that it worked out for you. As you can see, I didn’t get any response from UM here in over a week. So this weekend, my developer has disabled the UM plugin completely and installed CM Registration Pro and AAM which are a little less user-friendly on the backend, but seem to be 1,000x more powerful as far as options and settings go. I don’t think he needed to do anything with the code to get it to do what we need either.
