Tax_query failing on Pro Theme v4.2.3

[timmichar]

Hello,
We have created a custom element using the Classic Elements API. This custom element uses the “Select” control to display news stories by title. We are targeting a specific post categy using a tax_query but it is failing.

The tax_query works properly on X-Theme v7.2.3 but fails on Pro Theme v4.2.3. I’ve created a video that you can see in the next hidden comment.

Thanks.

Hi @timmichar,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Can you confirm that you are fully updated? (Theme and WP version). You can find the latest version numbers here: (https://theme.co/docs/version-compatibility) Then you can compare them to what’s installed on your site.

If everything is up to date then try replacing the tax_query with the following:

'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'news_category',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => 'viterbi-school',
            'include_children' => true,
            'operator' => 'IN'
        )
    )

If the issue persists then please get back to us with theURL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard as well as FTP credentials using the Secure Note functionality of the post to follow up the case.

Thanks!
