Hey,

thanks for reaching out! Would you be so kind and give me a link to the blog in questions, so that I can take a closer look? And if you don’t mind me asking – why don’t you update the plugin to the latest version (3.5.1)?

Looking forward to your reply,
Petra

Hey Andi,

I did what I could from our plugin’s point of view. Save all your settings before you make any changes. Try the following code (replace/add the code to that “Custom CSS” box):

.related_post_title {
}
ul.related_post {
    display: inline-block !important;
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 18px 10px !important;
    position: absolute !important;
    z-index: -2 !important;
}
ul.related_post li {
}
ul.related_post li a {
}
ul.related_post li img {
}

@media screen and (max-width: 480px){
ul.related_post li a:nth-child(2) {
font-size: 10px !important;
}
ul.related_post.wp_rp {
z-index:-5 !important;
}
ul.related_post {
z-index:-5 !important;
}
ul.related_post li {
display: inline-block !important;
width: 75px !important;
clear: both !important;
margin-bottom: -10px !important;
}
ul.related_post li a {
position: relative !important;
display: block !important;
font-size: 10px !important;
line-height: 1.1em !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
margin-bottom: 5px !important;
text-indent: 0 !important;
}
ul.related_post li img {
width: 75px !important;
height: 75px !important;
}
}

Here is a screenshot for easier navigation.

Let me know how it goes,
Petra

PS: That z-index is a bit tricky as I can’t test this fully on my side, so if it is causing any difficulties just change it to zero. If you wish you can make me a guest account so that I can take a closer look and make finer adjustments.

Hey,

thanks for reaching out!
It 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? Also, a link to your blog would be really appreciated.

Looking forward to your reply,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out – I’ll gladly help!
1. in our plugin settings you need to have that box next to “Display Post Excerpt” in “Advanced settings” ticked. Then you need to go to “Plugins”-> “Editor”-> in the top right corner select our plugin, find config.php file and replace
define("WP_RP_EXCERPT_SHORTENED_SYMBOL", " […]");
with:
define("WP_RP_EXCERPT_SHORTENED_SYMBOL", " [Read&nbspMore]");

2. If I am not mistaken you have already figured this one out by yourself.

Take care and have a lovely day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for getting back to me and for the link, truly appreciate it!
I think this should work, it is just an example, you can change that padding or add whatever you like:

.wp_rp_wrap .related_post_title {
padding:0px 0px 10px!important;
}

Just add this to that custom CSS box, save the changes and see the magic happen (hopefully).

Let me know how it goes,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately to do this automatically – it is simply not possible but you can remove those posts with default thumbnails manually via that orange “Edit Related Posts” button.

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

Hey,

thanks for the heads up! We are already working on a fix.

Once again, thank you for pointing this out, take care and have a nice day!

Petra
