Hi James,
this is a great workaround.
So i’d first do the WP_Query without limiting the results by comparing the user input and after the query i’d loop the results once more to filter the results via php.

I need the field’s label for the WP_Query, not after the query.

If i had two values to compare like:

'meta_query' => array(
  array(
    'key' => 'kk-cups-min',
    'value' => $userInput,
    'compare' => '<=',
    'type'    => 'NUMERIC'
  ),
  array(
    'key' => 'kk-cups-max',
    'value' => $userInput,
    'compare' => '>=',
    'type'    => 'NUMERIC'
  )
  ...
),

i’d have do loop twice to filter the results via php.

I think this is a great solution so far.
(it would be much more easier if one could do it all in the WP_Query, but this workaround is just fine for me now)
