I can successfully display these related posts with the below code, however, I would like to display a custom field (which is actually the subheading) below the title, currently it is set to show the excerpt.

I tried adding this: $related_post->get_post_meta($related_post->ID, "_subheading", true) instead of the excerpt but it didn’t work.

Any tips would be really helpful?

$related_posts = MRP_get_related_posts( $post->ID );
if(!empty($related_posts)) {
    echo '<aside id="categories-4" class="widget widget_related">
    <h4 class="widget-title">Related Posts</h4>';
foreach($related_posts as $key => $value) {
$related_post = get_post($key);
$related_thumb = get_the_post_thumbnail($related_post->ID,    $options['popular_post']);
if (!empty($related_thumb)) {
    echo "<div class='wid clearfix'><span class='wid-thumb' style='width:15%'>".get_the_post_thumbnail($related_post->ID, $options['popular_post'])."</span>";
} else {
    echo "<div class='wid clearfix'><span class='wid-thumb' style='width:15%'><img src='".get_template_directory_uri()."/inc/img/blank.jpg'></span>";}
    echo "<span class='wid-text'>".$related_post->post_title."</span>";
    echo "<div class='entry-meta'><span class='wid-text'>".$related_post->post_excerpt."</span></div></div>";
}
echo '</aside>';

Ok so I figured it out ??

We get the custom field (in my example _subheading) with get_post_meta(); based on the post ID.
We can find the ID using $related_post->ID

So I added this line:

$relsub = get_post_meta( $related_post->ID, '_subheading', true );

Then we simply echo the $relsub variable in the space I have for the subheading:

echo "<div class='entry-meta'><span class='wid-text'>".$relsub."</span></div></div>";

Hope that helps someone one day.

Here is the working example:

$related_posts = MRP_get_related_posts( $post->ID );
if(!empty($related_posts)) {
    echo '<aside id="categories-4" class="widget widget_related">
    <h4 class="widget-title">Related Posts</h4>';
foreach($related_posts as $key => $value) {
$related_post = get_post($key);
$related_thumb = get_the_post_thumbnail($related_post->ID,    $options['popular_post']);
if (!empty($related_thumb)) {
    echo "<div class='wid clearfix'><span class='wid-thumb' style='width:15%'>".get_the_post_thumbnail($related_post->ID, $options['popular_post'])."</span>";
} else {
    echo "<div class='wid clearfix'><span class='wid-thumb' style='width:15%'><img src='".get_template_directory_uri()."/inc/img/blank.jpg'></span>";}
    echo "<span class='wid-text'>".$related_post->post_title."</span>";
    $relsub = get_post_meta( $related_post->ID, '_subheading', true );
    echo "<div class='entry-meta'><span class='wid-text'>".$relsub."</span></div></div>";
}
echo '</aside>';
