Hi guys,

This is not an issue but a question.
I want to query posts based on user relationship.
You can sellect mutiple users and i don’t know how to query it.

`$args = array(
‘numberposts’ => -1,
‘post_type’ => ‘posts’,
‘meta_query’ => array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘relation_user’,
‘value’ => ‘1’,
‘compare’ => ‘=’,

)
)
);

i think the problem is that the query is an array and i want to check if it has te right value but in this case it’s just not equel to 1 because it’s an array.

This tutorial goes over everything you need to query relationship fields http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/querying-relationship-fields/

Basically, for what you want you need to use “LIKE” and the double quotes around the value are important.

$args = array(
   'numberposts' => -1,
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'relation_user',
            'value' => '"1"',
            'compare' => 'LIKE',
       )
    )
);
