Filter pages by custom field

Hi there,

I’ve a question about filtering pages by a custom field. I’ve made a custom select field with a list of countries. What I’m trying to do is showing some pages only in specific countries. For example, if on a page the custom select field “France” is selected, I would like to show this page only if a person enters the site from France. I can figure out how to get this variable from the users side, but I can’t figure out if it’s possible to filter the pages before showing up in the frontend by a custom field., maybe with a specific function inside functions.php?

Hopefully somebody knows how to do this. Thank you in advance!

Kind regards, Robin

Hi @robinw

Querying posts based on custom field values:

Hoe to allow a user to select the filter?
Simple, just use a $_GET parameter in the URL to set the custom field value!

Thanks
