Hi,
I´m trying to get posts from a selected checkbox. I tried the following:
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'opdracht',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'niveau_jaren',
'value' => '%Jaar 1%',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'field_51c82dd30047c',
'value' => '%Jaar 2%',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// 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();
This does not show anything. When I try the code for a radio button (from the documentation) it works. So what am I missing here?
Thanks

Your loop code is fine, I’ve tested it using the checkbox field inside a post. What is wrong is your ‘$args’ argument variable.
First off, make sure the post type is correct! Secondly, the meta_key is the FIELD_NAME. make sure that is correct as well, from the looks of it, your second key name was off. Also, value => is wrong as well. don’t use %% unless that’s what the value of your checkbox is. Insert the value of your checkbox.
It would also help if you posted a screenshot of your field group for this particular checkbox field.
<?php $args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'opdracht',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'FIELD_NAME',
'value' => 'CHECKBOX 1 VALUE',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'FIELD_NAME',
'value' => 'CHECKBOX 2 VALUE',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
// 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(); ?>
Thank you, it was indeed the % % at the values.
