I have set up a custom post type & then custom user roles. When on a particular custom post type page I want to show the users which are connected to the custom post type. I went through the querying relationship fields article (doctors/locations) and based the below on that plus some other snippets however, no matter what custom post you go to it shows all users. Here’s what I have now:
$args = array(
‘role’ => ‘Attorneys’,
‘key’ => ‘service_areas’, // name of custom field
‘value’ => ‘”‘ . $post->ID . ‘”‘, // matches exactly “123”, not just 123. This prevents a match for “1234”
‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’
);
// The User Query
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );
// The User Loop
if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) { ?>
<h2>Attorneys</h2>
<?php foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
echo ‘user_nicename ) .'”>’. esc_attr( $user->display_name ) .’<br>’;
}
} else {
echo ‘nope’;
}
?>
I thought I had it all set up until this morning when I added some more of the custom post types & the users were still showing even through they weren’t assigned to the particular post type in question. Any guidance would be appreciated.
$args = array(
'role' => 'Attorneys',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'service_areas', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . $post->ID . '"', // matches exactly "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
Awesome, thank you John. Now that I’m seeing it I should’ve figured it out myself. Another pair of eyes always helps. Thanks again!
