I’m following this guide, but as soon as I add the parameters to the URL I get a 404 error.
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-wp-archive-custom-field-filter/
If I then change the parameter name to something else, the page loads, but obviously then the code doesn’t work!
Any help would be appreciated.
Usually when you get a 404 error it’s because one of the query parameters is a reserved name in WP. For example ‘post_id’ and ‘name’ are reserverd. If you use these you’ll get a 404 error.
What are the parameter names you’re trying to use?
I’ve tried bedrooms, rooms, min-rooms and minimum-rooms. All lead to a 404 error whilst that query is in the script. If I change the script to be looking for rooms, but enter ‘min-rooms’ into the URL, I no longer get the 404 error, so there doesn’t appear to be anything other than the script itself causing the issue.
I’ve tried setting up a simple test like this. I’ve created fields named bedrooms, city and state. It appears to be working.
2 thinks, this code should look something like this:
$GLOBALS['my_query_filters'] = array(
'field_565712fdeba5c' => 'city',
'field_565713a9eba5d' => 'state',
'field_565713e2eba5e' => 'bedrooms'
);
These are field keys and field names for each field
Make sure that you visit settings => permalinks and save it to make sure that you’re CPT archive is working.
