Hi @inhouse

I’ve just checked your setup, and I believe it was because you have set the “Select multiple values?” option for the “person_list_user” field to “No.” In this case, you need to query it like this:

// filter
function my_posts_where( $where ) {
	
	$where = str_replace("meta_key = 'people_list_%", "meta_key LIKE 'people_list_%", $where);

	return $where;
}

add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where');

// args
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'page',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'people_list_%_person_list_user',
			'value' => $author_id,
			'compare' => '='
		)
	)
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $the_query->have_posts() ):
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();

Please notice the “value” and “compare” options.

I hope this helps 🙂
