So I have built a custom post type for my videos called tv. Some of the videos reference products using a custom field post object this is called ‘instruments’.
I’d like to make the relevant videos from tv come up automatically on these products. So I figure I need to query this data and just match post IDs. I found some code and edited it but it’s not working, can someone advise me where I’m going wrong?
Many Thanks
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'tv',
'meta_key' => 'instruments',
'meta_value' => $post->ID
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?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(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
I am assuming from your explanation that the post object field allows multiple selections
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'tv',
'meta_key' => 'instruments',
'meta_value' => '"'.$post->ID.'"'
'meta_compare' => 'LIKE'
);
Amazing! Thank you so much. Just missing a comma on the end of ‘meta_value’.
Thanks again
sorry, I don’t have my IDE to tell me about errors like that here 😛
