Hi there,
I’m using ACF on a custom post type called Special Offers, to allow a user to select what Posts the Special Offers should be displayed on.
So basically in single.php I want to display a Special Offer, if the Current Post is one of the posts selected in the backend. Hard to explain properly.
I have some of the code but it doesn’t seem to work how I think it should and was wondering if you may be able to help.
The code I have is:
<?php
// args $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘post_type’ => ‘special_offers’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘applies_to’, ‘meta_value’ => ‘”‘ . get_the_ID() . ‘”‘, );
// get results $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop ?> <?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
- <?php the_title(); ?><br /> <?php the_field(‘applies_to’); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
I’ve actually managed to work this out myself. I used a different method, get_posts, and I also used meta_query to return an array and compare the page ID to the custom field. So my final code looked like this:
<?php $special_offers = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'special_offers', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'applies_to', // name of custom field 'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', 'compare' => 'LIKE' ) )
));
if( $special_offers ): foreach( $special_offers as $offer ): // Do something to display the articles. Each article is a WP_Post object.
echo "<div class='special_offer'><h3>"; echo $offer->post_title; // The post title echo "</h3><span class='offer_text'>"; echo $offer->post_content; // The post content echo "</span></div>";
endforeach; endif;
?>
