1. Is there some filters?

* Yes, “bawmrp_li_style” can be used to overwrite the custom style on LI for front end display in thumb mode

• The filter “bawmrp_list_li” contains an array of all entries as LI tags. You can, for example, keep all-1 and add your Ad.

• The filter “bawmrp_posts_content” contains all vars to create the list, you can hack it now.

• The filter “bawmrp_more_content” contains the excerpt or content (if you choose to displays it) with a new line (BR tag) on front, you can hack this.

• The filter “bawmrp_no_thumb” can be used to change the default “no thumb” picture to display in “thumb mode”

• The filter “bawmrp_thumb_size” is an array containing thumb size, 100×100 is default.

• The WP filter “the_title” can be target in the related loop using the globale $var “$in_bawmrp_loop” set to TRUE if in the loop, not set if not.

1. Is there any actions?

* Yes, “bawmrp_first_li” “bawmrp_li” (with index param), and “bawmrp_last_li” can be used to add Ads for example, triggered before, in, and after LI tags.

1. Is there any shortcode?

* Yes, “bawmrp” and “manual_related_posts” are the same, you can do this in any php file :
* echo do_shortcode( '[manual_related_posts]' ); or add directly in any post/page [manual_related_posts]

1. How works the cache system?

* Do i really have to answer this? Ok, like all other cache system, the first time you open a page, data are stored into a cache system (DB if you do not have a real cache plugin), and when the time (1 day by default) is over, a new cache replace the old one.
* The cache is changed when you change the options or when you add a manual post.
* If you want to test without cache, set “0” days.
