Hi, thank you for your plugin. It’s Fantastic!
I have a problem with the location rules.
I have one custom post type. I have configured two custom fields. one for normal wordpress post, and another field for my custom post type via the location rules. In the backend editor all work fine!
Now i want use the value of field from custom type (with a new wp-query loop) in single.php (loop of normal wordpress posts) but the get_field function don’t return any values.
I think because the field that i want use in single loop is set to location of custom type…
How i can merge all fields in single loop for use in variables or query?
Thank you so much!
Hi @pastore1980
Your question is quite hard to understand. Can you please provide a clearer explanation of what you are trying to do?
Please name your CPT instead of saying I have one custom post type.
Also, please refrain from such broad and vague terminology like this:
Now i want use the value of field from custom type (with a new wp-query loop) in single.php
I can tell you that the get_field function can be used WITHIN a custom WP_Query loop.
What code are you using? Perhaps you can post it (please wrap in backticks – code button)
Hi, thank you for your response..
I tell you what you ask me..
My custom post type is ‘pacchetto’ and i have two group for each post type. One for the wordpress posts: 
and one for my custom post type: 
I want a query with CPT’s posts ‘pacchetto’ in sigle.php where return the posts when fields ‘zona_per_gli articoli’ = ‘zona-per-i-pacchetti’
I use the follow code:
<?php
$zone_articoli = get_field('zona_per_i_pacchetti');
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'pacchetto',
'meta_query' => array(
'key' => 'zona_per_gli_articoli',
'value' => $zone_articoli
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
</div>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();?>
This code return me all posts from CPT ‘pacchetto’ and not filtering with fields. I think because i am in single.php and there are a rules for each post type
In effect if i write
echo $zone_articoli it return the effective value, but if i write
$zone_pacchetti = get_field('zona_per_gli_articoli');
echo $zone_pacchetti;
don’t work (no value).
This last code work in single-pacchetto.php
I think i must merge the location rules for make my query with my fields…
Thank you so much!
Hi @pastore1980
To clarify:
1. The above code is used int he single.php template (view for a post)
2. The filter value is loaded via $zone_articoli = get_field('zona_per_i_pacchetti');
3. The $loop find all pacchetto and ignores the filter
Perhaps you need to debug your code. Try removing the $zone_articoli from the equation and hard code the meta_query.
Also, is the select field a single or multi select?
Thanks

Hi, thank you for your support.
For your questions:
1) yes
2) yes
3) yes
However, this code works!
<?php
$zone_articoli = get_field('zona_per_i_pacchetti');
$args = array(
'post_type'=>'pacchetto',
'meta_key'=>'zona_per_gli_articoli',
'meta_value'=>$zone_articoli
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
</div>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();?>
A last question:
If i want use a multiple select for a field, how i can do it?
The field that i want use is ‘zona_per_gli_articoli’
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi @pastore1980
You can perform a meta_query on a ‘multi-value’ field by using a LIKE parameter.
Here is an example (last example on page):
