i am having this issues for month and i can’t figure out how to solve this one:

I am working on a website, where you can check out cultural events in my region. This is just to let you know of what i’m talking about in general .
mox-veranstaltungen.de

Now for the backend i have made a custom query to output a list of events by a given range of dates. These dates are actually the eventdates. (when those events take place) There are several events on one specific day.

$args = array(
    'post_type' =>  'events',
    'numberposts'   =>  20,
    'meta_key'  =>  'date',
    'orderby'   =>  'meta_value_num',
    'order'     =>  'ASC',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'       =>  'date',
            'value'     =>  array ($von,$bis),
            'compare'   =>  'BETWEEN',
            'type'      =>  'NUMERIC',
        ),
        )

the date value is made with ACF and sorting on dates just works fine.

Now every event has also a taxonomy term of a taxonomy i called ‘eventtype’. I need to sort events of a specific date to these taxonomy terms.

For example:

1. all events happen on the 4th of july
   • All events with the taxonomy term ‘music’
   • All events with the taxonomy term ‘plays’
   • All events with the taxonomy term ‘fairs’
   • …

I don’t know how to solve this. I’ve extended the query above with this tax_query statement, which obviously is not working:

$allGenres = get_terms( array('taxonomy' => 'eventtype','fields'  =>'ids','hide_empty' => false));

$args = array(
    'post_type' =>  'events',
    'numberposts'   =>  20,
    'meta_key'  =>  'date',
    'orderby'   =>  'meta_value_num',
    'order'     =>  'ASC',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'       =>  'date',
            'value'     =>  array ($von,$bis),
            'compare'   =>  'BETWEEN',
            'type'      =>  'NUMERIC',
        ),
        ),
        'tax_query' =>  array (
        array(
        'taxonomy'  =>  'eventtype', //taxonomy
        'field'     =>  'term_id',
        'terms'     =>  $allGenres //
        'orderby'   =>  array ('terms' => 'ASC')
        )
)); 

This orderby statement is just a shot in the dark, just some filthy code googling 🙂
How i am solving this? I can imagine it’s just a quite easy task, right?
