I have created custom .php file that should show list of all posts that correspond to user’s choice. I have 3 custom fields and 1 category condition.
I’ve tried all the queries i could possibly find in wordpress codex database but nothing seems to work.
I’ve created 3 custom fields: a_field,a_fieldd,a_fielddd (and ofcourse i have posts with those fields already posted for the test) now I just want to show all of the posts with custom fields with specified values (user’s choice) and only if those posts are inside the chosen category
EDIT
I have a query (with just 1 value for test), which seems to be working, but sometimes takes 0,00002s someties up to 4 seconds. any suggestions? I know it would be better if I use wp_query but I found this way to be easier to modify.
in this example i am trying to get the post with meta_key a_field with value “5”
SELECT wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts
INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id)
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id)
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt1 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt1.post_id)
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt2 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt2.post_id)
WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post'
AND wp_posts.post_status = 'publish'
AND ( (wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'a_field'
AND find_in_set('5',wp_postmeta.meta_value)) )
GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10
any suggestions?
