I am working with a custom post type and have aded custom fields such as a checkbox for the posts called “Featured” which can be either either checked or left unchecked.
My site also pulls these custom post types into a carousel. However, I want to only show the posts that have been checked “Yes” for the “Featured” custom field. The carousel allows me to do this as long as I have a parameter such as ‘year=2012&monthnum=12’ or ‘post__in=array(1,2,5)&post__not_in=array(25,10)’ .
However, I cannot seem to determine whether these custom fields create parameters so that I could potentially use something like this: ‘featured=true’. Can anyone help me determine if this is possible and what the steps would be to be able to use these fields/parameters?
Thanks so much!
The “parameters” look very much like a WP_Query argument. You’d need to talk to whoever created the carousel you’re using. ACF fields are saved as meta values and most of them can be easily added to a query, but I can’t tell you if the carousel can use them or not.
