Help with Custom query

[Vicky]

Hi,

I am using the masonry gallery to display a custom post type. In this custom post types I have custom fields. Example: city. I would like in the masonry plugin custom query to only show the entries from Toronto. Example: show all post from city=”Toronto”.

I tried city=”Toronto” in the Custom Query box and it did not work.

I tried also to use the filter in the function.php and not look either:

add_filter(‘wmlp_query’, ‘my_custom_query_wmlp’,10,2);
function my_custom_query_wmlp($args, $shortcodeID){
if ($shortcodeID == 4){
$args[‘city’] = “Toronto”;
return $args;
}
}

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance,

Vicky.

Hi Vicky,

First, can you please let me know what City is ? Is that post type or taxonomy ? If it is taxonomy can you please make sure its slug is city as you have mentioned ?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your answer.
It is a custom field named city inside a custom post type.
Thanks.

Hi Vicky,

In that case it should be meta_key=city&meta_value=Toronto. For custom field we need to use meta key for field name and meta value for field data.

Thanks
