Custom query: Radio select with Custom fields based on selection.

I have a custom post type case_study

There are two sort of custom fields called sales_increase and case_study.

Each of these have custom fields that appear when selected while writing a new Case Study post via the Conditional Logic option in ACF, depending on which radio option is selected, radio_sales_incease or radio_case_study

What I want to do is create two different WP_Querys, one just for posts that have the sales_increase selected and another in the same template for full_case_study. I’ve poured over every post related to radio buttons but I just can’t figure this out.

Here is the query I tried to write:

$args = array(
      	'numberposts'	=> -1,
      	'post_type'		=> 'case_study',
      	'meta_key'		=> 'case_radio',
        'choices'     =>  array(
          'radio_sales_increase' => 'Sales Increase',
         ),
      );

The only part of this that seems to work is the post_type argument.

Here is the custom-fields code for radio selects that ACF exports if that helps:

array (
		'key' => 'field_5592fcb8e266f',
		'label' => 'Case Radio',
		'name' => 'case_radio',
		'type' => 'radio',
		'instructions' => 'Select Case Study post type.',
		'required' => 1,
		'conditional_logic' => 0,
		'wrapper' => array (
			'width' => '',
			'class' => '',
			'id' => '',
		),
		'choices' => array (
			'radio_case_study' => 'Case Study',
			'radio_sales_increase' => 'Sales Increase',
		),
		'other_choice' => 0,
		'save_other_choice' => 0,
		'default_value' => '',
		'layout' => 'horizontal',
	),
	array (
		'key' => 'field_5592fd1e644a4',
		'label' => 'Case Study',
		'name' => 'full_case_study',
		'type' => 'wysiwyg',
		'instructions' => 'Enter Case Study write up.',
		'required' => 0,
		'conditional_logic' => array (
			array (
				array (
					'field' => 'field_5592fcb8e266f',
					'operator' => '==',
					'value' => 'radio_case_study',
				),
			),
		),
		'wrapper' => array (
			'width' => '',
			'class' => '',
			'id' => '',
		),
		'default_value' => '',
		'tabs' => 'all',
		'toolbar' => 'full',
		'media_upload' => 1,
	),
	array (
		'key' => 'field_5592fd74f5563',
		'label' => 'Sales Increase',
		'name' => 'sales_increase',
		'type' => 'number',
		'instructions' => 'Enter the sales increase percentage number.',
		'required' => 0,
		'conditional_logic' => array (
			array (
				array (
					'field' => 'field_5592fcb8e266f',
					'operator' => '==',
					'value' => 'radio_sales_increase',
				),
			),
		),
		'wrapper' => array (
			'width' => '',
			'class' => '',
			'id' => '',
		),
		'default_value' => '',
		'placeholder' => '',
		'prepend' => '',
		'append' => '',
		'min' => '',
		'max' => '',
		'step' => '',
		'readonly' => 0,
		'disabled' => 0,
	),
),
'location' => array (
	array (
		array (
			'param' => 'post_type',
			'operator' => '==',
			'value' => 'case_study',
		),
	),
),

You would do a query for posts based on the radio something like this

// get posts with radio value of 'radio_case_study'
$args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'post_type' => 'case_study',
    'meta_key' => 'case_radio',
    'meta_value' => 'radio_case_study'
);
