Hey,

thanks for reaching out and sorry for not replying sooner!
Unfortunately, Canvas it not free to use, so I can’t test this on my side but usually you can do this by
1.) going to “Appearances”-> “Editor”-> and in the upper right corner select your theme “Canvas”-> then select, if you have that file, “comments.php”-> finally add <?php zemanta_related_posts()?> before, the..and this is just an example, “<section id=”comments” class=”themeform”>” line.
2.) Go to the plugin settings and untick the box next to “Auto Insert Related Posts or add <?php zemanta_related_posts()?> to your single post template)”.
3.) Don’t forget to save the changes.

Let me know if this was some what helpful, take care and have a lovely day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for getting back to me and really sorry for not replying sooner!
The problem is that when you “insert” our related posts in that single.php file they become a part of the content and they get shown in the feed. We are working on making them “pretty” for the feed, so please bear with us in the meantime.

Sorry for the inconvenience, take care and have a lovely day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out and really sorry for the late reply!
Would you be so kind and give me a link to your blog, so that I can take a closer look?

Looking forward to your reply,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out! Although we had some issues regarding thumbnails – they should be fixed with the latest release. But then again, I noticed you are using our “Pinterest theme” that has quite a mind of its own. We are working on resolving that but in the meantime would you be so kind and see if the same problems appear when using a different theme?

Looking forward to your reply and sorry for the inconvenience,
Petra

Glad to hear it is working now 🙂

Hey Scott,

thanks for reaching out!
Our plugin usually works with custom posts but it really depends on a lot of things, so I need a bit more information – what kind of custom posts do you use? Any special custom post plugin?
For example, you could try this – I made this custom post type (‘a_product’):

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
register_post_type( 'a_product',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Petra' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Petra' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
)
);
}

And then I have changed the init.php file of the plugin like so (just added the || ‘a_product’ after ‘post’ ):
if ($content != "" && $post->post_type === 'post' || 'a_product' && (($options["on_single_post"] && is_single()) || (is_feed() && $options["on_rss"])))

Don’t forget to save the changes and let me know how it goes,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out and sorry for not replying sooner! You can do that by going to “Plugins”-> “Editor”-> in the top right corner choose (y)our plugin, then “init.php” file. Once there find the

$img = wp_rp_get_post_thumbnail_img($related_post, $image_size);
		if ($img) {
			$output .=  '<a href="' . $post_url . '" class="wp_rp_thumbnail">' . $img . '</a>';
		}

part and replace $output line with this one:
$output .= '<class="wp_rp_thumbnail">' . $img;

Don’t forget to save the changes.

Take care and enjoy the day,
Petra
