Hi, still totally lost on this.

I have updated the query to look like this:

<?php
$args = array(
'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
			array(	
			'meta_key' => 'department',
			'meta_value' => 'Social Work',
			'meta_compare' => '=',
			),
			
			array(
			'meta_key' => 'last_name',
			'orderby' => 'meta_value',
			'order' => 'ASC',
			'exclude' => array(1,8,9),
			),	
  )
);

// The Query
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );

// User Loop
if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
	foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
		um_fetch_user( $user->id );	
?>

So the way I read this is that it should be looking for users that have “SOCIAL WORK” checked off in the “DEPARTMENT” ACF field that I created….(its a checkbox field).

AND, it should then look at the USER LAST NAME, and ORDER those in ASC order.

However when I do this code, I still get tons of users listed linked to all kinds of departments, not just ones that include SOCIAL WORK as I want.

Please help!
