Hi –
This summer I added a feature on a website I built for a theatre company. On the Production Pages, artists (custom post type) were added and given roles. Then on the artist profile pages, it would dynamically populate a table with all productions that artist was attached to along with their role. I read the documentation posted on this site and it worked great. However, last month this feature mysteriously stopped working! Any thoughts on what may have changed? Any thoughts at all would be welcome!

Thanks

		<table>

				<th>Production</th>

				<th>Role</th>

		<?php

			// filter for cast

			function my_posts_where( $where ) {

				$where = str_replace("meta_key = 'production_company_%", "meta_key LIKE 'production_company_%", $where);

				return $where;

			}

			// filter for creative

			function my_posts_where2( $where2 ) {

				$where2 = str_replace("meta_key = 'creative_team_%", "meta_key LIKE 'creative_team_%", $where2);

				return $where2;

			}

		$thisGuy = get_the_ID();

			add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where');

			add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where2');
