 * Hi, i’m already using the option to display related posts of the same CPT. But
   because i use custom fields and my “content” is empty most posts show about the
   same related posts consistently. Is there any way to randomize it so it starts
   displaying other posts as well? Thanks.

 * One option is this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/couple-of-things-2/#post-8632752](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/couple-of-things-2/#post-8632752)
 * However, it does have a potential impact on performance. However, with the cache
   enabled you should be good

 * This works. Is it possible to do this when there are no matches?
    Or after it
   ran out of good matches? Example: the are 8 related posts. 2 are good matches(
   similar titles), the rest random. Thanks!

 * Do you mean when you can find only 2 posts in the results? That is a TODO on 
   my list of many things to improve in this plugin.
