Does the option preloaded = true ignores the meta_key?

So I did some testing on another site:

My shortcode:

[ajax_load_more preloaded="true" preloaded_amount="12" post_type="doctor" posts_per_page="4" scroll="false" pause="true" meta_key="test" meta_value="test"]

Then I printed the values of $preloaded_arr (line 280). The result is below. As you can see the meta_key and meta_value are there.

Array
(
    [post_type] => doctor
    [post_format] =>
    [category] =>
    [category__not_in] =>
    [tag] =>
    [tag__not_in] =>
    [taxonomy] =>
    [taxonomy_terms] =>
    [taxonomy_operator] =>
    [meta_key] => test
    [meta_value] => test
    [meta_compare] =>
    [meta_relation] =>
    [year] =>
    [month] =>
    [day] =>
    [author] =>
    [post__in] =>
    [search] =>
    [custom_args] =>
    [post_status] =>
    [order] => ASC
    [orderby] => menu_order
    [exclude] =>
    [offset] => 0
    [posts_per_page] => 40
    [lang] =>
    [css_classes] =>
)

Then I printed the values of $args = apply_filters(‘alm_preload_args’, $preloaded_arr); (line 315)
The result below does not contain the meta_key or meta_value. Is that intentional?

Array
(
    [post_type] => Array
        (
            [0] => doctor
        )

    [posts_per_page] => 40
    [offset] => 0
    [order] => ASC
    [orderby] => menu_order
    [post_status] => publish
    [ignore_sticky_posts] =>
)

My solution to this issue right now:

Change line 317 (replace $args with $preloaded_arr)
$alm_preload_query = new WP_Query($preloaded_arr);

I’m not sure what the issue is on your install but I just ran a test on my dev and was able to preload my meta_query.

`[ajax_load_more preloaded=”true” preloaded_amount=”1″ post_type=”post” meta_key=”banner” meta_value=”hero” meta_compare=”IN” posts_per_page=”1″]

Oh right.
After 1.2 you are required to enter your licenses for updates.

have you done that?
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=ajax-load-more-licenses

I just e-mailed you.

Adding the license and updating the plugin to version 1.2.1 fixed the issue. Thank you.
