Using 'meta_query' to filter Posts

  • To allow for easy filtering of Posts with a specific Custom Field defined I’ve added a ‘meta_query’ parameter to the query via the ‘pre_get_posts’ filter.

    $query->set( 'meta_query', array(
	array(
		'key' => '_keyresource',
		'value' => 1,
		'compare' => '==',
		'type' => 'numeric'
		)
	)
);

    Is there any way I can limit this additional parameter to the main Post loop only?

  • One solution I have used to turn a filter on and off is to use a global variable.

    I set the global variable just before issuing the query that I want filtered and then clear it just after the query.

    I check for the global variable in the filter function and only filter if it is set.
