 * Is it possible to include meta data in the related posts configuration? For example,
   I want to display posts that match both the taxonomy and a specific meta value
   I’ve created.

 * Hi kyleboreing
 * It’s not possible right now, but it’s on my list to do. The plugin does a meta
   query for key `_thumbnail_id` to query for posts with thumbnails assigned. It
   shouldn’t be to hard to combine it with a custom meta query. The next update 
   for this plugin will be after WordPress 5.0 lands with a block for the new editor.

 * So it could take a while before the meta query goes in.
