It was not it, I just tried something and it worked.
I was updating the field with term IDs as integers: 1, 2, 3…
Then I tried updating the field using strings instead: “1”, “2”, “3”…
Now it’s working, that was the difference when updating on the frontend/backend.
Anyway, just another day in the life of a developer.
Thanks for helping me clarify!
Group field, the field has a value that was updated on the frontend with update_field(), I’m able to pull the value and display it normally.
However, the problem is only when filtering with “meta_query”, I’m not able to pull users with that value unless I manually update the user in the backend (without changing anything).
Just by doing that it will work and display the user in the loop, otherwise it doesn’t work, but I can’t manually update all users every time.
So again, everything works, I can update the value and display it, etc. But when using “meta_query” to filter users it doesn’t work until I manually update that user.
Still nothing, same issue.
Not including the group name always returns empty. In addition to that, all tutorials I’ve read asked to add the group name, so much so that it works, but with the problem that I mentioned:
$speaks = 9;
(no quotes) ‘value’ => $speaks = returns a partial match too (9, 19, 29…)
(with quotes) ‘value’ => ‘”‘.$speaks.'”‘ = returns a full match as it should, but only if I, at some point, manually clicked on “Update user” in the backend.
