Filter by data-meta_key not working (sometimes)

    Hi,

    I’m trying to use the plugin with buttons acting as filters to arrange the content in different orders depending on the button, each corresponding to a different meta field.

    <li>
<a id="preOwnedPrice" href="#" data-repeater="default" data-post-type="pre-owned-vehicles" data-taxonomy="pre-owned-vehicle-categories" data-taxonomy-terms="null" data-posts-per-page="10" data-scroll="true" data-button-label="Load More" data-orderby="meta_value_num" data-meta_key="Pre Owned Vehicle - Price">Price
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a id="preOwnedPrice" href="#" data-repeater="default" data-post-type="pre-owned-vehicles" data-taxonomy="pre-owned-vehicle-categories" data-taxonomy-terms="null" data-posts-per-page="10" data-scroll="true" data-button-label="Load More" data-orderby="meta_value_num" data-meta_key="Pre Owned Vehicle - Mileage">Mileage
</a>
</li>

    When I do it like this for some reason it works for filtering by PRICE, but not by Mileage. The meta field itself in wordpress both hold number values.

    When I use a shortcode to arrange by Mileage it does work.

    echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more meta_compare="BETWEEN" posts_per_page="12" orderby="meta_value_num" meta_key="Pre Owned Vehicle - Mileage" post_type="pre-owned-vehicles" taxonomy="pre-owned-vehicle-categories" taxonomy_terms="" taxonomy_operator="" button_label="Load More"]');

    However I want to bind it to a click. I don’t understand why it’s working for Price but not Mileage in the first instance. Everything is exactly the same.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thanks,

    Steven

    I’ve realised now that actually none of the buttons worked, it just loads whatever is set up by the shortcode on the page.

    I can use the above method to vary between for example Ascending and Descending order but it doesn’t seem to work for varying between different meta keys.

    Is there an easy way to implement this? Or am I using completely the wrong approach?

    Many thanks!

    Not exactly sure why this is happening…

    A few thoughts…

    • Why are your taxonomy_terms null and “” ?
    • Also, I believe a meta_key needs to be in this format: meta_key=”pre_owned_vehicle_mileage”

    Hi, thanks for the reply.

    Apologies if I’m not making sense, I’m still quite new with PHP & WordPress.

    Not sure why taxonomy_terms was null (I’ve taken over this project half way from someone else) but removing it does not make any difference.

    In the shortcode it’s “” so that the terms are added by jQuery depending on what options are selected.

    I just found the problem, so stupid, I was using data-meta_key= instead of data-meta-key.

    Working now thanks a lot!

    Nice find. I didn’t notice that either.
