Reverse Query Returning Empty

  • I am trying to run a reverse query on a post relation field that is within a subfield repeater. My code doesn’t return any errors but the Array always comes back empty. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    			
    	<?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>
    	
    		<?php $issues = get_posts(array(
    			'post_type' => 'product', //  WooCommerce Custom Post Type
    			'meta_query' => array(
    			    array(
    			        'key' 		=> 'section_contents', //this is the post relationship field, which is in a repeater subfield of 'toc_section'
    			        'value' 	=> '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', 
    					'compare' 	=> 'LIKE'
    			    )
    			)
    		));
    		
    		print_r($issues) //testing if there's anything at all in the array. Has been returning empty.
    	
    	?>
    
    	<?php if( $issues ): foreach( $issues as $issues ): ?>
    
    			<?php echo get_the_title( $issues->ID ); ?> 
    
    	<?php endforeach; endif; ?>					
    
    <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
  • would it work if you change the 2 lines to this:

    <?php if( $issues ): foreach( $issues as $issue ): ?>
    <?php echo get_the_title( $issue->ID ); ?>
  • That still returns empty. I don’t think there’s an “issue” variable anywhere.

  • you cant use foreach as with the same variable 😉

    but your real problem is probably here:
    'key' => 'section_contents', //this is the post relationship field, which is in a repeater subfield of 'toc_section'

    subfield of repeater
    if you have luck change this too and it works:
    key' => 'toc_section_%_section_contents',

  • You’re right. I saw that in another post as you were replying. Thanks!
