I was wondering if there was any way to make the “More Stories” that popup on posts custom so that you can pick and choose which stories pop up.
<———–>
For Example…
It will only pull stories that are “Sticky” or Pull stories from a certain category. ie… Lets say I create a Hot Topics or Featured Stories category and want to ONLY pull articles from there versus “the same category” that it is currently at.
Reader is looking at Article1 in “Category1” & “Hot Topics” categories.
Can the More Stories feature pull ONLY articles that are in both “Category1” & “Hot Topics” categories.
Is that possible?
<———–>
Example 2…
Allow us to pick which articles show up in More Stories across the site. Such as only pulling posts/pages: 12,133,178
Or if you have it set to show only 2 articles, and you have 4 articles that you only want shown there it would pull 2 of the 4 at random.
<———–>
Or Example 3…
If this is easy to do… Building upon the other Example 1. If you have your Article1 that the reader is looking at and it is in Category1.
Can I have it pull only articles sticky articles that are in Category1 versus sticky articles in any category. If that doesn’t make sense.
Article2 in Category1 and is stickied
Article17 in Category1 and is stickied
Article179 in Category3 and is stickied
Article265 in Category3 and is stickied
Article299 in Category5 and is stickied
Your viewer is looking at Article1 in Category1 so I only want them to see Article2 & 17 since they are both in Category1 but not any of the others.
Your viewer is looking at Article57 in Category3 so I only want them to see Article179 & 265 since they are both stickied in Category3
Another words, these are the important articles I want my viewer to see if they are in that category.

Maybe I have made this way to confusing lol. Is there a better option?
Hi,
Is possibly somehow but require custom work and is not an easy task. At this moment we are not available for custom work, sorry for the inconvenience.
