    Hi I have the following array, but really I only want to query the gender if the $gender variable exists, as conditional statements can’t be located within a php array, are there any clever / obvious suggestions I maybe overlooking on how to go about this?

    $args  = array(
	'role'		=> 'talent',
	'order'		=> 'DESC',
	'orderby'	=> 'user_registered',
	'meta_key'	=> 'position',
	'number'	=> '15',
		'meta_query'=> array (
			array(
				'key'		=> 'picture',
				'value'   => array(''),
				'compare' => 'NOT IN'
			),
			array(
				'key'		=> 'gender',
				'value'		=> $gender
			),
		)
	);

    Hi jduffell

    Try this:

    $args  = array(
	'role'       => 'talent',
	'order'      => 'DESC',
	'orderby'    => 'user_registered',
	'meta_key'   => 'position',
	'number'     => '15',
	'meta_query' => array (
		array(
			'key'     => 'picture',
			'value'   => array( '' ),
			'compare' => 'NOT IN'
		),
	),
);

if ( $gender ) {
	$args['meta_query'][] = array(
		'key'  => 'gender',
		'value'  => $gender
	);
}

    Cheers for that, I was totally overlooking this.
