Hi, I’ve read the documentation entry about “How to query posts filtered by custom field values” (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-query-posts-filtered-by-custom-field-values/), which is close to what I’m trying to do, but not quite there.
Using wp_query, I need to show one of several custom post types (type=portfolio), ordered randomly but only if a certain custom field (client_quote) is populated.
Right now I’ve got this code:
<?php
$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
$recentPosts->query('showposts=1&post_type=portfolio&orderby=rand');
?>
But obviously that shows every portfolio post regardless of whether the “client_quote” field is populated or not.
Any pointers?
Solved it. For anyone else wondering, this is how I did it:
<?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'showposts' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'client_quote',
'value' => '',
'compare' => '!='
)
)
);
$client_quote = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
That randomly picks one post from the Portfolio custom post type, as long as the client_quote custom field contains some text.
