What’s wrong with my query? (Checkbox query doesn’t work)
-
Please, help me, somebody.
I have two custom fields. First one is the text type, second one is checkbox
I need to filter my posts by these fields, using URL
Something like this “https://example.com/?fieldname=Value”I followed the instructions on this guide and used the example “functions.php” code
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-wp-archive-custom-field-filter/For the text type field everything works fine, as it should
But for the checkbox type, no posts can be foundWhat shall i fix in the example code to make it work?

Ok, sometimes you just figure things out yourself
To make query work for text ACF type and checkbox ACF type
You should change this
$value = explode(‘,’, $_GET[ $name ]);
$meta_query[] = array(
‘key’ => $name,
‘value’ => $value,
‘compare’ => ‘IN’,
);To this
$values = explode(‘,’, $_GET[ $name ]);
foreach( $values as $value )
{
$meta_query[] = array(
‘key’ => $name,
‘value’ => $value,
‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’,
);
}
