Filter Posts by Custom Field

Hello,

I have a CPT that appears on the dropdown post list.
I want to filter those posts and show only those who have a certain ACF Field Value.

For example, i have assigned a ACF True/False field on all posts. If the value is True, then the post should appear.

How can we achieve this? I have read all the support posts about custom fields but did not really understand how to achieve this.

Also, since this is for a soccer related website using sportspress, we only chose to show the “Scheduled” posts, since thats what SportsPress upcoming matches post status is. Is there a way to only limit the date to always be today + 2 months? So it always shows sceduled posts from today and until the next 2 months.

Hello redwolfcy,
yes you can use the filter wpcf7_your_tag_name_get_posts filter for this.

Best regards

@markusfroehlich can you provide an example snippet on how to achieve this?

As mentioned above, I have read all the support posts about custom fields but did not really understand how to achieve this.

Hello,

I have added
```
add_filter('wpcf7_yourtag_get_posts', 'filter_dropdown_posts');

function filter_dropdown_posts($post_args){
	$post_args['meta_query'] = array(
		array(
			'key' => 'show_match_in_press_accreditation',
			'value' => 'true')
		);
	return $post_args; 
}
```
to my functions.php but it still brings up the same results, so it appears that the filter does not work…

show_match_in_press_accreditation is my acf field name and it is set as True/False field.

here is my shortcode

[post_select post_select_59 posts-number:6 future include_blank search_box post-type:sp_event tax-relation:OR value-field:title orderby:date order:ASC "%date% - %title% - %meta_key%"]

I have also tried changing the add_filter to
add_filter('wpcf7_post_select_59_get_posts', 'filter_dropdown_posts');
but gives no results at all…

Please check, if the filter works:
```
add_filter('wpcf7_'.$tag_name.'_get_posts', 'filter_dropdown_posts', 10, 3);

function filter_dropdown_posts($post_args, $tag, $args)
{
print_r($post_args);
return $post_args;
}
```
Best regards
