 * Hi the plugin is great! I have some issues, is it possible to get acf relationship
   fields running? It works somehow, but the filter shows something like this: a:
   4 {i:0;s:3:”324″;i:1;s:4:”2177″;i:2;s:4:”2232″;i:3;s:4:”2230″;}
 * Also, I want to filter a loop grid and inside this loop grid are two post widgets
   with related items, if I apply the filter it seems that it also triggers this
   post widgets which then have no results…
 * Moreover, support of acf select field would be nice and for the visible range
   filter I would need an option to select for example 3 stars, but then it should
   show every post over 3 stars not only post with exactly 3.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@slottodon43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slottodon43/),
 * At the moment, relationship fields (and also multi-select fields) aren’t fully
   supported because ACF saves them as arrays of IDs, and there’s nothing in the
   filter yet to interpret those IDs. That’s why you’re seeing those value strings.
   I’ll be adding support for the most common cases in a future update. In the meantime,
   if you use an associative field for taxonomies, you can display the results by
   setting the filter’s data source to “Taxonomy”.
 * The ACF select field works when it’s a single choice, but not yet for multiple
   values for the same reason.
 * As for the star/range filter, right now it only checks for exact matches within
   the chosen range. I agree it would be useful if you could also say “3 stars and
   above” (or the opposite), so I’ll be adding an option for that too.
