    9 years, 9 months ago

    I have a custom field for a person’s age, they can obviously input any number they like but mostly 17 to 99 would be the range of ages.

    I want to create 2 new meta fields…
    1. Set a minimum age ranging from 17-99 in a dropdown of 1 year gaps.
    2. Set a maximum age ranging from 17-99 in a dropdown of 1 year gaps.

    Could you give me a simple example of how to do this please?
    Thanks

  • I don’t think this plugin supports this yet, but this could be a worthy feature to be added to the plugin. The meta query would have to be tweaked to have the ability to use a variable such as $min to store the minimum value then another variable such as $max to store the maximum value. The query would have to use BETWEEN for the compare attribute.

    @respectyoda is right.
    So far I have no intention to add new features yet as I don’t have time for it.

    I found the solution… I created a (custom field) minimum field AND a maximum field. This way the searcher can nominate their minimum AND their maximum value and the search results will return as per those values.
