Hi there.

Firstly, this plugin is so amazing. I just have a question:

How I can filter by a dropdown option on the WP_QUERY?

Example: I have a people post_type with a dropdown menu with a city dropdown field, and I want to filter by those field.
```
// Showing people
$args = array(
 'post_type' => 'people',
 'meta_key' => 'city',
 'meta_query' => array(
	array(
	 'key' => 'city',
	 'value' => 'Nelson',
	 'compare' => 'IN',
	)
 )
);
```
As “city” is a “dropdown field” and not a “text custom field” i can’t really filter it, unless I change “city” for a custom taxonomy.

Thanksss

As “city” seems like a taxonomy field rather a “custom field” so I changed my query into this:

// Showing people
$args = array(
 'post_type' => 'people',
 'tax_query' => array(
  'relation' => 'AND',
   array(
    'taxonomy' => 'city',
    'field' => 'slug',
    'terms' => array( 'nelson','otago-southland'),
    'include_children' => false,
    'operator' => 'IN'
    )
   ),
  );

So now I can filter my post with no probs.

Hope this helps to someone.
