The functionality of this is now available in the query_posts function core to WP as of 3.1 with the meta_query parameter. Check out http://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-new-meta_query-with-custom-post-types as an example. To filter categories you'd use the "&cat=2,3,5,77," parameter.

Great post! How would I use this in conjunction with searching a categories list? I would like to filter on multiple custom fields as well as the default post categories. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the great function!

Thanks Mike. You should try an sql wildcard %. You might have to do more than just modify the $metaDataList key / value you are passing in to get the type of results you expect.

Good luck!

Hi Jamie, amazing function you have there!

But I have a problem, the function compares the exact value of the custom field and returns no result if values are not the same. How can I modify it so it still finds/display the value no matter what texts it follow? I tried modifying the sql query but in vain.

Thanks.

All of my use cases for this code thus far have been when I needed all results returned to page. Check out these links that might help you. Feel free to post back any solutions if you get it working:

I did it with

$resultList = get_posts(‘orderby=meta_value_num&meta_key=total_property_size&order=ASC’);

thank you so much. For your perfect code.

Now I just need pagination.

I found

# put limit in query built above

$ppp = intval(2);

if(!$isPagination) :

$on_page = intval(get_query_var(‘paged’));

if($on_page == 0){ $on_page = 1; }

$offset = ($on_page-1) * $ppp;

$querystr .= ” LIMIT $offset,$ppp”;

endif;

$metaResults = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);

if($isPagination) :

$wp_query->found_posts = count($metaResults);

$wp_query->max_num_pages = ceil($wp_query->found_posts / $ppp);

$on_page = intval(get_query_var(‘paged’));

if($on_page == 0){ $on_page = 1; }

$offset = ($on_page-1) * $ppp;

endif;

return $metaResults;

this code for pagination.

But could not implement it.

Could you help.
