Hi @vince_m
You don’t have to follow the code on the page I gave you before. It’s only an example how to do it. I’m sorry I forgot to tell you that.
The following is a simple example to do it.
<?php if ( isset($_GET['searchkey']) ){ ?>
<?php
// args
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'custom-post-type',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'athlete',
'value' => $_GET['searchathlete'],
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<ul>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<img src="<?php the_field('event_thumbnail'); ?>" />
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php } //endif isset searchkey?>
Then you can get the posts like this:
http://example.com/path-where-you-put-the-code/?searchathlete=searchkey
Where “searchkey” is the athlete you want to search. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/query-posts-custom-fields/.
I hope this makes sense 🙂
