   Is there a way to include custom fields in the data that YARPP reads in making decisions about relatedness? I have publication info (author, title, etc) in custom fields, and I would like to have YARPP draw on that to add to the list of related posts.

   I could add the same info as tags, but I would rather not duplicate the information if I can help it.

   @danbutcher - sorry, there isn't a way to do that with YARPP now, but as YARPP does look at title and body text as well, it may still be able to do a decent job without that metadata.

   @mitchoyoshitaka But where does that leave sites like mine (ShortFormBlog, http://shortformblog.com/), which use nothing but custom fields to post information? It's not just metadata. It's content.

   @stoicboy — yes... unfortunately YARPP wouldn't be very helpful for you.

   Hi Mitchoyoshitaka,

   I'm in the same situation. I wanted YARPP to search for custom fields, perhaps there is a way to hack your code to include custom fields?

   Any clues as to which file I should dig in would be helpful, thanks!
