Query loop: order by custom field

Hi Leo,
thank you. I managed to order the query loop according to the custom field.
Now, I would like to filter another query loop by another custom field:

I have a custom field called “highlighted”.
It was created in ACF and it’s a “true/false” field.
I want to filter the pages that have the “highlighted” field set to true.

I tried some code that I found on this forum, but it’s not working.

here’s an example I have tried with no success:

	add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    // Check your logic to apply the filtering only to specific loop
    if (
        ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&
        strpos( $attributes['className'], 'testsliderfield' ) !== false &&
        is_home() &&
        ! is_admin()
    ) {
        // Merge the current $query_args which contains arguments defined in the editor with your ordering arguments
        return array_merge( $query_args, array(
            'meta_query' => array(
                array(
                'key' => 'highlighted',
                'value' => '1',
                'compare' => '==' 
                )
            ),
        ) );
    }
	return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Hi Fernando,

I have just tried but it is still not working

Hi David,

you are right, I haven’t noticed that condition in the code I copied!

Now it works.

The code I am using is now this one:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {

				// apply filter if loop has class: orderby-acf-idordine
				if (! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'orderby-acf-idordine' ) !== false) {

					return array_merge( $query_args, array(
                'meta_key' => 'highlighted',
                'meta_value' => '1',
                'compare' => '==' 
					));
				}
				return $query_args;
			}, 10, 2 );

How can I add the code to order by “idordine” field all the post that have “highlighted” = 1?

I mean, how to combine the code above with this one in order to order by “idordine” field all the post that have “highlighted” = 1?

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {

				// apply filter if loop has class: orderby-acf-idordine
				if (! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'orderby-acf-idordine' ) !== false) {

					return array_merge( $query_args, array(
						'meta_key' => 'idordine',
						'orderby' => 'meta_value',
						'order' => 'ASC',
					));
				}
				return $query_args;
			}, 10, 2 );

Hi David,
thank you, it works.

This is the exact code that is working for me:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    if (! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'orderby-acf-idordine' ) !== false) {

        return array_merge( $query_args, array(
            'meta_query' => array(
                array(
                    'key' => 'highlighted',
                    'value' => '1',
                    'compare' => '='
                )
            ),
            'meta_key' => 'idordine',
	    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
            'order' => 'ASC'
        ));
    }
    
    return $query_args;
