Hi,
I’m trying to filter the posts by a value. I tried the following:
<?php if (is_page( 'testpagina' ) ) {
// args
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'opdracht',
'meta_key' => 'niveau_jaren',
'meta_value' => 'jaar 2'
);
// get results
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<ul>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();
} ?>
But it does not show anything. The value is correct and there are posts with this value ‘Jaar 2’. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks!
Well.. it does work with a radio button field group. But in my case I need to get it worked with checkboxes. Do I need to change anything?
Also tried this:
<?php if (is_page( 'testpagina' ) ) {
// args
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'any',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'niveau_jaren',
'value' => '%Jaar 1%',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'niveau_jaren',
'value' => '%Jaar 3%',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// get results
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
This should mean it gets the posts with value ‘Jaar 1’ or ‘Jaar 3’, right? I don’t get anything..
Hi @LeffDesign
Your second lot of code looks like it should work. You have followed the example code from ACF, however, I think the ‘post_type’ => ‘any’ is your issue. I don’t think this is possible. Can you confirm the docs about this?
