Hi @avwijk
I believe you can use the IN compare instead. You should also always try to use the WP_Query class instead of get_posts(). That’s just a wrapper which also bypasses several filters.
There’s also a few performance tricks one can do to improve performance on the WP_Query class. a single WP_Query actually runs 4 queries per default. We can disable some of these. Below is your query with two of the four queries removed.
$posts = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'team_member',
'posts_per_page' => 500, //never set to -1 as this is an hazard. what if we at some point has 10 000 posts?
'no_found_rows' => true, //since we dont use pagination we can use this
'update_post_term_cache' => false, //Since we dont use taxonomies we can use this. If you are going to output taxonomies based on this query remove this line.
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'groep',
'value' => array('7a', '7b', '8a', '8b'),
'compare' => 'IN'
)
)
));
