 * I am trying to create a loop where posts are displayed from autor 1, or if the
   post contains metavalue in the field metakey.
 * I came up with below code, but I cant get it to work
 *     ```
       $args = array( relation' => 'OR',
           array ('author' => 1 ),
           array ('meta_query' =>
             array(
               'key' => 'metakey',
       	'value' => 'metavalue',
                  )
                 )
         );
       ```
   
 * Also in case it works, will it show twice if match both author 1 AND the metavalue
   in metakey?
