Hi there

I’ve created a custom field called display, radio box, with values either yes or no.

I’ve added yes to a couple of posts and try to query using the following but it won’t return any posts. Can you please help?

<?php
$args = get_posts(array(
‘numberposts’ => 1,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘display’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘yes’
));

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

?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>

<?php while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
• “>
  ” />
  <?php the_title(); ?>
  

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>

Looking at what I can see of your code I don’t see anything that wrong. This is not a valid WP_Query argument 'numberposts' => 1, that I can find, but it should not effect the query since it should be ignored. This should probably be 'posts_per_page' => 1,

If you re-post your code and use code tags around id so the the forum does not trash it I may be able to see more that might cause a problem.
