Hi Aaron thanks for a top plugin.  Its simple to use and does exactly exactly what is expected.  I have set it up to display the list of related posts only in my template's sidebar.  However, I want to hide the generated list's heading when there are no related posts.  I have managed a work-around by using the following code in "sidebar.php".

 

<?php if (!is_front_page() && !is_page()) : ?>
   <li><h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php _e('Related Posts'); ?></h2>
    <ul> <?php wp_related_posts(array('title'=>'', 'num_to_display'=>5)) ?> </ul>
   </li>
<?php endif; ?>

which hides all traces of the plugin from the sidebar if when browsing the site's front page or any other page.  However, the list's heading (ie Relatated Posts) is displayed for posts where there are no related items.  Is there a way to prevent it from being displayed when the list of related posts is empty?  What I am looking for is a conditional statement along the llines of:

$x = "number of related posts";
if (!empty(x)) {display related posts heading and list;}

P.S. I am aware that getting rid of the following is a partial solution:

<li><h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php _e('Related Posts'); ?></h2>

However it  is used display all the headings in the sidebar uniformly so I would like to retain it.

 

Thanks for a superb plugin once again.

Cheers
