## Description

Most of the “related posts” plugins out there while they provide some kind of control
on how to create related posts, they all rely on an algorithm
 and the results are
automatic. With CPTR you get total control as you can manually select the posts 
that you want to relate.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The Custom related posts (CPTR) screen. Search, select, relate, done.

 * The default settings panel.

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. In the Posts page you will see the main screen of the plugin.
