Looper Provider based on field value

[marketfresh]

Is it possible to determine a looper provider based on a field value of a post type.

For example:
I want the provider to be a specific post type and show only posts that have “status”(custom field) = “active”(field value) AND “type”(custom field) = “sale”(field value).

It would be like the Taxonomy option, except singling out posts with specific field values instead.

Hi @marketfresh,

Thanks for reaching out.
Regretfully, there is no such option available in Looper Provider, but you can use the Custom option to call a custom method that will help you to get the data inside it. Please find the following thread which may help you on this.

Hi @scenaryo, With the help of my colleague @tristup, we are able to come with a solution using the custom Looper Provider to solve your issue. 1.) First, I activated your child theme and add this custom filter below in your child theme functions.php add_filter('cs_looper_custom_subcat', function($result, $args) { $category = get_queried_object(); $cat_args = array( 'hide_empty' => 1, 'child_of'=> $category->term_id, 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', ); $subcats = g…

Looper provider: Sort by one custom field, filter by another?

How can I display a list of posts, sorted by one custom field, and filtered by another? The following query string, which sorts by a custom field, works fine: post_type=lunch_and_learn&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=lunch_and_learn_date&order=desc But appending this does not work: &meta_key=lunch_and_learn_status&meta_value=Scheduled However, the following, complete query string – includes the filter clause but not the sort by clause – DOES work! post_type=lunch_and_learn&meta_key=lunch_and_le…

@kory posts were definitely getting me closer to what I wanted.

Here’s exactly what I’m trying to do:
post_type=listing&meta_key=ffd_listingtype&meta_value=Sale&meta_key=ffd_status&meta_value!=Closed

Basically I want to use 2 meta key values (both need to be true so it needs to be AND, not OR) to determine which posts to show, and one of the values needs to be not “Closed”.

Does this make sense, and is it even possible?

I think I figured it out after looking a little harder at some of @kory’s posts.
Here’s what I did:

$query = array(
  'post_type'           => 'listing’,
  'post_status'         => 'publish',
  'orderby'             => 'date',
  'order'               => 'DESC',
  'meta_query'           => array(
    'relation' => 'AND',
    array(
      'key' => 'ffd_status',
      'value'    => 'Closed',
      'operator' => 'NOT IN',
    ),
    array(
      'key' => 'ffd_listingtype',
      'value'    => 'Sale',
      'operator' => 'IN',
    ),
  ),
);

var_dump( http_build_query( $query ) );

Here’s the output:
post_type=listing&post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=DESC&meta_query%5Brelation%5D=AND&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=ffd_status&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Closed&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Boperator%5D=NOT+IN&meta_query%5B1%5D%5Bkey%5D=ffd_listingtype&meta_query%5B1%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Sale&meta_query%5B1%5D%5Boperator%5D=IN
