    Hello,

    I'm working on an events website. I have custom post types for venues and dates. The relationship is from the dates to the venues. I'm working on a query to show all dates from a venue single view. This one is working:

    $connected = new WP_Query( [
   'relationship' => [
   'id'   => 'fromdatestovenues',
   'to' => get_the_ID(),
  ],
  'nopaging'     => true,
 ] );

    How can I get only dates from the relationship where a custom select field ('wochentag_select') is set to a specific value?

    Hi,

    You can add the meta query (field ID and value) to the arguments of the query to filter dates, please read more on the WP documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#custom-field-post-meta-parameters

    Hi Long,

    thanks for your answer. I'm probably doing something wrong, because the result isn't filtered:

    $connected = new WP_Query( [
    'relationship' => [
    'id'   => 'fromdatestovenues',
    'to' => get_the_ID(),
    'meta_key'   => 'wochentag_select',
    'meta_value' => $dertag,],
    'nopaging'     => true,
] );

    doesn't show any posts:

    $connected = new WP_Query( [
    'relationship' => [
    'id'   => 'fromdatestovenues',
    'to' => get_the_ID(),
        ],
    'meta_key'   => 'wochentag_select',
    'meta_value' => $dertag,
    'nopaging'     => true,
] );

    Is it relevant that the custom field is not in the post I'm running the query from, but in the post with the relationship?

    In Views (Singleview) the working query is:

    {% for post in relationships.fromdatestovenues.from|filter(post => post.wochentag_select.name == dertag or post.wochentag_select.name == heute)|sort((a, b) => b.wochentag_select <=> a.wochentag_select ?: a.startzeit <=> b.startzeit) %}

    But I have to rewrite it to php.

    Hi,

    What is the value that you assign to the variable $dertag? Please assign a specific value to the argument meta_value to check if it works.
    I also see that in the View code, the query uses from instead of to in the relationship arguments, you can change to from and re-check it.

    On another note, adding the argument post_type to the query might help to specify a post type.

    $connected = new WP_Query( [
    'post_type' => 'dates', //here
    'relationship' => [
        'id'   => 'fromdatestovenues',
        'to' => get_the_ID(), // change to 'from'?
    ],
    'meta_key'   => 'wochentag_select',
    'meta_value' => 'abcd',
    'nopaging'     => true,
] );

    Hi,

    thanks for your answer. I tried your suggestions in every combination without any success. I guess there is another problem. I'll try to solve this with custom categories instead of relationships then.
