General Settings

To get the access to the 'Automatic Related Products' settings please go to: System → Configuration → Automatic Related products

Exclude Products by Category - Specify coma separated category IDs to exclude products assigned to these categories from display.


Up-sells Settings

The Up-sells block is displayed on a product page.
