Search using custom post type and advanced custom fields through taxonomies

Hi,

I have a custom post type named Houses.
For this CPT, I have created some taxonomies to have a relationship with it:

– Country (taxonomy)
– City (taxonomy)
– Beach (taxonomy)
– Condominium (post object)

How can I search a term and look into these relations?

For example,

– if I search Los Angeles, it will bring all the houses which has a city called Los Angeles.
– if I search a term which is common in a beach and city, it will bring all the houses related to this search

Since it’s a taxonomy, how to do a search in all the advanced custom fields connected to my custom post type Houses?

Thanks!

You have to add this to your query:

So if you were trying to look for houses with the following criteria:
CPT: houses
Country: United States
City: Los Angeles
Beach: Manhattan

I don’t know what your taxonomy slugs are, but insert them own below:

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'houses',
	'tax_query' => array(
		'relation' => 'AND',
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'country',
			'field'    => 'name',
			'terms'    => 'United States',
		),
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'city',
			'field'    => 'name',
			'terms'    => 'Los Angeles',
		),
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'beach',
			'field'    => 'name',
			'terms'    => 'Manhattan',
		),
	),
);
