Hi! I’m having an issue with meta_query.
Here is what my meta_query looks like, as overwritten in pre_get_posts :
$metaQuery = [
'relation' => 'AND',
[
'key' => 'stamps_%_local',
'compare' => '=',
'value' => true,
],
];
Where “stamps” is a Group field, and “local” is a True/False sub-field of it. I tried following the same method as with repeaters, but it doesn’t seem to be working. It returns no results. Is it possible to do a meta_query on such sub-fields ?
Hey Nubee..
So close! But its actually just a bit simpler.. your meta ‘key’ only needs to be the name of the group, then underscore, then the name of the sub-field… so in your case:
$metaQuery = [
'relation' => 'AND',
[
'key' => 'stamps_local',
'compare' => '=',
'value' => true,
],
];
Hope this helps!!
Thank you very much for your help. It works just fine now.
Back with an other question haha.
What do I do if my group field’s slug has an underscore in it ?
I mean, I could just change it to make it “my-group-field” instead of “my_group_field”, but it is in your system that when I write a field’s name with spaces, it replaces them with underscores, so that’s a shame.
This doesn’t work. As of WP 5.9.3 and the latest ACF on Apr 10, 2022, this code doesn’t work:
// WP_Query args fragment..
'post_type' => 'page'
,'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
,array(
'key' => 'page_sections_section_content',
'value' => "$SEARCH",
'compare' => 'LIKE',
),
...
);
My repeater rows: page_sections
My repeater rows: section_content
Any ideas?
@pkhunter The key looks fine. Did you try tweaking the value or compare? Or even just running only that key without the OR?
