Hi @debschmidt,

Thanks for the post.

To create a post search filtered by custom field values, you will need to create a custom query using the WP_Query class and then include a meta_query with custom field meta like so:

// args
$args = array(
	'numberposts'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'event',
	'meta_query'	=> array(
		'relation'		=> 'OR',
		array(
			'key'		=> 'checkbox_name',
			'value'		=> 'value_1',
			'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
		),
		array(
			'key'		=> 'checkbox_name',
			'value'		=> 'value_2',
			'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
		)
	)
);

// query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
