TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Custom Related Posts is for WordPress site owners and content editors who want to manually curate related content across posts, pages, and custom post types. It solves the problem of automated related-post plugins not giving control over which links appear, by letting users manually set one-way or two-way relations.
