Title: [Plugin: Developer's Custom Fields] Query Posts by User Custom Fields Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Developer's Custom Fields] Query Posts by User Custom Fields * [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/) * Hi, please, I need some help. * I Have a user checkboxes custom field registered to use a Taxomony and is set to $Single= false. So I can check as many as I want. * I use this taxonomy also in my custom post type where my client can check one or many tags for each post. * So, what I need is to query all posts that has the same tags for each user. I have the code below: * ``` if ( function_exists( 'slt_cf_register_box') ) add_action( 'init', 'register_my_custom_fields' ); function register_my_custom_fields() { slt_cf_register_box( array( 'type' => 'post', 'title' => 'Dados do Arquivo', 'id' => 'dados-arquivo', 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high', 'fields' => array( array( 'name' => 'ad_arquivorestrito', 'label' => 'Selecione o Arquivo', 'type' => 'file', 'file_button_label' => 'Selecionar arquivo', 'scope' => array( 'ad_arearestrita' ), 'capabilities' => array( 'edit_posts' ) ) ) )); slt_cf_register_box( array( 'type' => 'user', 'title' => 'Acesso as Concessionárias', 'id' => 'acesso-concessionaria', 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high', 'fields' => array( array( 'name' => 'ad_acessoconcessionaria', 'label' => 'Acesso a:', 'type' => 'checkboxes', 'multiple' => true, 'options_type' => 'terms', 'options_query' => array( 'taxonomies' => 'ad_concessionaria', 'hide_empty' => false ), 'single' => false, 'scope' => array( 'administrator', 'admin', 'concessionaria', 'editor' ), 'capabilities' => array( 'edit_users' ) ) ) )); } ``` * That’s working fine! I have a checkboxes in my User Profile with all tags I created in the Taxonomy “ad_concessionaria”. * Now I have the query below: * ``` 'ad_arearestrita', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'ad_concessionaria', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => $current_user->_slt_ad_acessoconcessionaria ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?> ``` * That’s working fine, but is retrieving just one post, because is getting just ONE “term” from my User Custom Field……. * I can’t find a way to retrieve an Array of the values, since I use Checkboxes and I can have many tags in this field….. * Can you help me please??? How can I get an ARRAY of values to use in this Query? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/developers-custom-fields/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/developers-custom-fields/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Thread Starter [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543696) * Hi, it’s me again! What I need is to have an Array like this: * ``` array( 'taxonomy' => 'ad_concessionaria', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => array( 103, 115, 206 ) ) ``` * How can I pass my User Custom field as an ARRAY inside the ‘terms’?? I forgot to say the USER ID is the user logged in! * Thanks and I hope someone can help!!! * Plugin Author [Steve Taylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gyrus/) * (@gyrus) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543697) * Just trying to get my head around the issue: 1. You have a taxonomy applied to a custom post type (using the WP taxonomy system, not a custom field) 2. You have the same taxonomy applied to users, via a custom field 3. You want the query to return all posts that have at least one tag that is also attached to a particular user? Or…? * I’m not clear at all about #3! Could you clarify? * Plugin Author [Steve Taylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gyrus/) * (@gyrus) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543699) * Ah, OK. Well, the Codex says that the `terms` in the above array can be an array. Maybe you need to play around with the other parameters – maybe `operator`? * Thread Starter [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543700) * Hi, I think I just need to retrieve the values of the user custom field as an Array in ‘Terms’…… * Thread Starter [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543701) * The way I did in my query I can have just ONE value…….and as a result I have just One post with that same value (tag). * If I can pass an ARRAY with all values………then I have all posts…. * Thread Starter [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543703) * Hi, I tried this query but is not working: * ``` 'ad_arearestrita', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'ad_concessionaria', 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => slt_cf_field_value( 'ad_acessoconcessionaria' ) ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?> ``` * Plugin Author [Steve Taylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gyrus/) * (@gyrus) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543704) * Maybe: * `'terms' => slt_cf_field_value( 'ad_acessoconcessionaria', 'user', $user_id, '','', false, false )` * The `false` at the end is to reflect `single` being false in the field definition: * [http://sltaylor.co.uk/wordpress/plugins/slt-custom-fields/docs/#functions-values](http://sltaylor.co.uk/wordpress/plugins/slt-custom-fields/docs/#functions-values) * You’ll have to replace `$user_id` with the current user ID, however you’re getting that. * Thread Starter [raonip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raonip/) * (@raonip) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-developers-custom-fields-query-posts-by-user-custom-fields/#post-2543707) * Steve, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
