Dear all,

I’m trying to do something which seems very simple but I must be too new to succeed on my own and I haven’t found any answer in this forum.

What I’m trying to do is entirely explained in the title. I’d like to gat all the pages that have a certain value for an ACF checkbox field I added to all content of type “page”.

Is there any way to do that ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Hi @benoitmorel

You can (and should) achieve this by using wp_query with a meta_query parameter. get_posts is a wrapper for wp_query so there’s not really any point using it for this purpose.

Here’s a stripped down code example you can use to get started. Inside the while-loop you’re in “the loop” in WordPress and can use any loop-specific functions like the_title(), get_permalink() and get_the_content() (for example).

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'meta_query' => array(
    	array(
	        'key' => 'YOURKEY',
	        'value' => 'YOURVALUE',
	        'compare' => 'LIKE'
	    )
	)
);
$similar_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $similar_query->have_posts() ){
	
	while( $similar_query->have_posts() ){
		$similar_query->the_post();
		
		the_title();
		
	}
	wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
