Settings - Required settings are the post types you want to use and the number of fields you need. Optional settings are a custom title and a custom path for the content template.
Related posts selection - This metabox will appear in the admin post page for the post types you have activated in the settings page.
For which type of posts this plugin works?
You can choose for which type of posts make it work. In the settings page, select the type of posts to activate them.
What is the `Number of Fields` field in the Setting page
‘Number of Fields’ set the number of fields for selecting related posts that will be displayed in the post page. This number must be included between 1 and 20. However, if for example this value is set on 3 but you do not select the posts for which you want to create a relation, related posts will not appear in your front end page.
How can I insert a custom title before the related posts list?
Go to the Settings page and set the title in the Title field.
Which template will be used to display the related posts?
By default the shortcode will get the template part content.php, if post is a standard post. If post is custom post type it will get the template part content-{custom-post-type}.php. You can change this behaviour specifying a custom path with the name of the file that should be used. For example, if you’re using CPTRP on a custom post type named books but you don’t have (or don’t want to use) a file named content-books.php and so you just want to use content.php, then you can specify it in the Path input field of the settings page. In this case, supposing that the file content.php is in the partials subfolder, you can type partials/content.
Can I have a different content template for each post type?
Yes, you can have a different content template creating a file content-{custom-post-type}.php. This will be taken by default. But if you specify a content template path, then will be used that for all the post type selected. So if you have more than one post type selected be aware that you need to use the same template for all of them.
I set the options in the Settings page and selected the related posts but still can’t see related post in my website.
You need to insert [cptrp] shortcode where related posts should be displayed.
