Hi John,

I think so. I also have a custom post type (“actions”) so it should work for you.

Cheers

Here’s the working code, in case it can help others.
The main problem of the previous one was that I set the queries multiple times, while here I append to it using $meta_query[] =

<?php
// array of filters (field key => field name)
        $GLOBALS['my_query_filters'] = array( 
            'action'	=> 'action', 
            'ville'	    => 'ville', 
            'date'	    => 'date'
        );

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts', 10, 1);

function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
	
	// bail early if is in admin
	if( is_admin() ) return;
	
	// bail early if not main query
	// - allows custom code / plugins to continue working
	if( !$query->is_main_query() ) return;

    if( ! is_post_type_archive( 'actions' ) ) return;
    
    
     // CITY/TYPE/DATE filters
    // loop over filters
	foreach( $GLOBALS['my_query_filters'] as $key => $name ) {
		
		// continue if not found in url
		if( empty($_GET[ $name ]) ) { continue; }
		
		// get the value for this filter
		// eg: http://www.website.com/events?city=melbourne,sydney
		$value = explode(',', $_GET[ $name ]);
            
        // append meta query
    	$meta_query[] = array(
            'key'		=> $name,
            'value'		=> $value,
            'compare'	=> 'IN',  
        );
	}
    
        // FUTURE/PAST/ALL filters
    if( isset($_GET['range']) ) {
        
    $range = $_GET['range'];

      if($range != "toutes") {
          
          // Select what kind of compare you need
          if($range == "past") {
            $comparer = '<';
          } else if($range == "future") {
            $comparer = '>=';
          }
        
        // If you need to filter by date add this to meta_query array
        $meta_query[] = array(
            'key'     => 'date',
            'value'   => date("Ymd"),
            'compare' => $comparer,
            );
          }
       }
    
   
    
	// update meta query
	$query->set('meta_query', $meta_query);
    
    $query->set( 'meta_key', 'date' );
    $query->set( 'orderby', array( 'date' => 'DESC' ) );
    $query->set('posts_per_page', '20');
    
}
