1. Go to your cPanel of your website, then choose phpMyAdmin.
2. Choose your WordPress database, and backup your database (as we will modify one of the tables of this database).
3. Click on the SQL tab, and then copy and paste this following SQL update:

   UPDATE wp_icl_translations t, wp_posts p
   SET t.element_type = 'post_page'
   WHERE p.ID = t.element_id
   AND p.post_type = 'page';
    
   UPDATE wp_icl_translations t, wp_posts p
   SET t.element_type = 'post_post'
   WHERE p.ID = t.element_id
   AND t.element_type = 'post';

   Assuming that the prefix of your table is wp_.
   Those 2 statement will update your wp_icl_translations table by replacing “post” become “post_post” for the posts you have already had, and then also replacing “post” become “post_page” for the pages you have already had.

4. Check again your site, and now the posts or your pages will appear properly.
5. If the problem still remains, then it usuallay caused by the older version of WordPress does not support to use WPML version 1.8.0. I have contacted WPML guru about this problem, and still waiting for the solution. Meanwhile, you can try those solutions above.

Hope it helps!

1. You can now add drafts and planned posts as related posts, without them appearing on your site before they are properly published.
2. Added shortcode support: you can now place the [ related-posts ] shortcode within the content of your post to display the related posts anywhere you want.
3. (For advanced users) Added a parameter to the MRP_get_related_posts function to optionally get the related posts in an object, so you can easily use it in other plugins or your own custom way of displaying the list of related posts. For documentation on this, see [the API section](http://www.microkid.net/wordpress/related-posts/#API “Microkids Related Posts API functions”).
4. (For advanced users) Added a parameter to the MRP_get_related_posts function to optionally include unpublished posts to the related posts list. For documentation on this, see [the API section](http://www.microkid.net/wordpress/related-posts/#API “Microkids Related Posts API functions”).

After the automatically-upgrade process was completed, I remembered that I had modified this Microkids Related Post plugin before via this article: Adjust MicroKid Related Posts v2.3 with qTranslate v2.4.3 Plugins. It meant that I had to adjust its new script again in order it compatible with qTranslate plugin.

So here was I made:

1. Open mrp-search.php file, find this code:

   52	foreach( $results as $result ) {

   replace with:

   52 53

   foreach( $results as $result ) { $related_post_title = wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($result->post_title));

   find this code:

   60	echo $result->post_title;

   replace with:

   60	// echo $result->post_title;

   find this code:

   64	echo '</a> <a href="'.get_permalink( $result->ID ).'" title="View this post" class="MRP_view_post" target="_blank">&rsaquo;</a></li>';

   replace with:

   64	echo $related_post_title.'</a> <a href="'.get_permalink( $result->ID ).'" title="View this post" class="MRP_view_post" target="_blank">&rsaquo;</a></li>';

   then save this file.

2. Open microkids-related-posts.php file, and find this code:

   104	echo '<li id="related-post-'.$related_post->ID.'"><span>'.$post_title.'</span><span><a class="MRP_deletebtn" onclick="MRP_remove_relationship(\'related-post-'.$related_post->ID.'\')">X</a></span>';

   replace with:

   104	echo '<li id="related-post-'.$related_post->ID.'"><span>'.wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($post_title)).'</span><span><a class="MRP_deletebtn" onclick="MRP_remove_relationship(\'related-post-'.$related_post->ID.'\')">X</a></span>';

   find this code:

   328 329 330 331 332

   $output .= "<ul>\n"; foreach( $related_posts as $related_post ) { $output .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink( $related_post->ID )."\" title=\"$related_post_title\">".$related_post->post_title."</a></li>\n"; } $output .= "</ul></div>\n";

   replace with:

   328 329 330 331 332

   $output .= "<ol>\n"; foreach( $related_posts as $related_post ) { $output .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink( $related_post->ID )."\" title=\"$related_post_title\">".wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($related_post->post_title))."</a></li>\n"; } $output .= "</ol></div>\n";

   find this code:

   375 376 377 378 379

   echo "<ul>\n"; foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title ) { echo "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink( $related_post_id )."\" title=\"$related_post_title\">".$related_post_title."</a></li>\n"; } echo "</ul></div>";

   replace with:

   375 376 377 378 379 380

   echo "<ol>\n"; foreach( $related_posts as $related_post_id => $related_post_title ) { echo "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink( $related_post_id )."\" title=\"$related_post_title\">".wp_specialchars(qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($related_post_title))."</a></li>\n"; } echo "</ol> </div>";

This has been tested and working good in Microkids Related Posts version 2.4 and qTranslate version 2.4.3.
