Pass query parameters

    Hey!

    I have a custom post type I am using relevanssi to search through, except I want to pass a meta_query parameter to the search to exclude certain posts that have an Advance Custom Field True/False field checked.

    I’m trying (which may be wrongly) to use WP_Query as pass the search term in as a parameter but it is not displaying the results I am looking for.

    <?php $args = array(
    'post_type' => $_GET['search-type'],
    'posts_per_page' => 3,
    's' => $_GET['s'],
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'work_hidden',
            'value' => '0',
            'compare' => '='
        )
    )
); 

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); 

if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
	include "partials/work-card-new.php";
    }
} ?>

    In theory this query should work fine, but from the research I’ve done I may need to use a Relevanssi function to pass my meta_query into the search. Any help is appreciated thank you!

    When you use new WP_Query(), you’re essentially dropping Relevanssi off the search. Instead use relevanssi_modify_wp_query or pre_get_posts filter hooks to add the meta_query to the query parameter before it is passed to Relevanssi.

    If you really do need to run a new query on the template (which usually is not the best way to do it, as it then you’ll end up running two queries, which wastes resources), add

    relevanssi_do_query( $the_query );

    after the new WP_Query() line in order to get Relevanssi to process the query.

    Thanks for getting back to me Mikko! I was able to solve my problem using the pre_get_post filter hook! Whoop Whop!
