    Hi thanks @stylelib, thanks for the suggestion. Ya that’s a bit tricky but doable down the road. I think others have requested it so it’s certainly on our list.
    For now, the workaround requires some coding:
    * use some PHP code to automatically add any custom field’s values to the post body but hide them (I think you could even put them into an HTML comment, or somewhere with display:none on them)
    * make sure to update that hidden text everytime the post gets updated
    * make sure to enable YARPP’s “Consider bodies” in the algorithm

    Does that make sense? I know it’s a bit of a work and not for everyone.
