Select all in filter

Hi!

I’m filtering posts, and in my regions filter I have option “All”, but all is of course not in field choice list.

So when I select all in regions filter, all posts should be listed no meter in which region they fit.

This is my code:

<?php
	$region = $_GET["regions"];
	$gender = $_GET["gender"];
						
	global $wp_query;
	
        $args = array_merge( 
	  $wp_query->query_vars, 
	  array( 
	    'meta_query' => array(
	      array(
		'key' => 'select_region',
		'value'	=> $region,
		'compare' => 'LIKE'
	      ),
	      array(
		'key' => 'gender',
		'value' => $gender
	       ),
	     )
	   ) 
	 );
								
         query_posts( $args );
?>

I searched on forum, but I could not find solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You need to dynamically generate your meta query based on the value submitted.

<?php
	$region = $_GET["regions"];
	$gender = $_GET["gender"];
						
	global $wp_query;
	
	
	$meta_query = array();
	if ($region != 'all') {
	  $meta_query[] = array(
		'key' => 'select_region',
		'value'	=> $region,
		'compare' => 'LIKE'
	      )
	}
	
	// .. do something similar for the other meta query parameters
	
	
        $args = array_merge( 
	  $wp_query->query_vars, 
	  array( 
	    'meta_query' => $meta_query;
	   ) 
	 );
								
         query_posts( $args );
?>
