    Hi,

    I donot know where this question belongs so kindly excuse me if it’s in the wrong forum!

    My problem:
    I am retrieving posts through the get_posts function as:

    <?php
global $post;
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 2, 'offset'=> 0, 'post_type' => 'webcast');
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post);
$p_ID = get_the_ID();
?>

    I want to say now that the meta_value parameter should be equal to either XYZ or ABC

    How do I do that?

    It could help if the parameter could negated as in

    meta_value <anything but> ‘Live’

    Is it possible?

    Thanks,

    Try it with this [untested]:

    $args = array(
        'posts_per_page' => 2,
        'post_type' => 'webcast',
 	'meta_query' => array(
 		array(
 			'key' => 'yourmetakey',
 			'value' => array('XYZ', 'ABC'),
 		)
 	)
  );
 $myposts = get_posts( $args );

    Thanks,

    That helped a lot! What worked for me was:

    //...code
               'meta_query' => array(
               'relation' => 'OR',
		array(
			//code
		),
		array(
			//code
		)
)

    as given on the link u provided.

    I just have one more question. If I want to override the order_by according to the ‘meta_value’ parameter? As in, first we have all posts with meta_value ‘XYZ’ and then with ‘ABC’

    Thanks,
    Kanika.

    Ordering by Date has temporarily solved the problem. (Per chance) But i’d still like to get an answer to this one.

    Try it with two loops (get_posts), one for ‘XYZ’ and one for ‘ABC’.

    Oh, ok. Thought it could be clubbed into one.
