    Hello,

    I am trying to list one page (the recent one) which has the same TITLE like the current post META VALUE.

    I have come up with the following code, however it is not showing the correct page. Can you please help?

    <?php
	   $pagetitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'car_model_range', TRUE);
     $args=array(
     'post_type' => 'page',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'post_title' => $pagetitle,
     'order'=>'ASC',
     'orderby'=>'date',
     'posts_per_page' => 1,
	   );
	$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'partials/caritem', 'page' ); ?>
	    <?php
	  endwhile;
	}
?>

    Example: there is a page with title “The best page ever” and then I have a post with key car_model_range = “The best page ever”. I want to see on that post also the page that has this title.

    ‘post_title’ is not a valid argument to WP_Query. Try changing this:

    'post_title' => $pagetitle,

    to this:

    'name' => sanitize_title($pagetitle),

    I tried this but it is showing no results:

    <?php
	   $pagetitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'car_model_range', TRUE);
     $args=array(
     'post_type' => 'page',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'pagename' => sanitize_title($pagetitle),
     'order'=>'ASC',
     'orderby'=>'date',
     'posts_per_page' => 1,
	   );
	$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'partials/caritem', 'page' ); ?>
	    <?php
	  endwhile;
	}
?>

    The argument is not ‘pagename’, just ‘name’.

    'name' => sanitize_title($pagetitle),

    none of the codes is working.

    By the way here is the difference:

    name (string) – use post slug.
    pagename (string) – use page slug.

    maybe it is necessary to sanitize the title already on he first row.

    Hi Alchymyth,

    This function retrieves a post given its title. If more that one post uses the same title, the post with the smallest ID will be returned.

    However I need to ‘order’=>’ASC’, ‘orderby’=>’date’.

    It seems like to solution is not that easy…
