   I'm having a senior moment with this, and think there must be a simple way to do this.

   I have a gallery that is accepting multiple $_GET values to filter content. This content is used in meta_query arrays to filter custom post data. This is simple enough when I place the arrays inside the meta_query array. Everything works as expected. However, I want to be able to have an author text search override a drop-down name select, meaning that I would love to house all of my separate meta_query arrays in a pre-defined variable, then just pop that into the wp_query object.

   the problem with just adding arrays to something like $filter[] is that the keys stop the query from executing properly. array_values() doesn't help either.

   Can anyone help me think of an idea?

   Thank you in advance.

   Turns out the solution was for me to stop, sleep and look again at my code :)

   Basically, run through the GET paramaters passed from the form, and then add to an array like so:
   

   if($_GET['art_filtername_text']){
   							$filters[] = array('key' => 'art_filtername', 'value' => $_GET['art_filtername_text'], 'compare' => 'LIKE' );
   
   						} else if($_GET['art_filtername']){
   							$filters[] = array('key' => 'art_filtername', 'value' => $_GET['art_filtername']);
   
   						}
   
   						if($_GET['art_filterprice']){
   							$filters[] = array('key' => 'art_price_regular', 'value' => array($price[0], $price[1]), 'type'=>'numeric', 'compare' => 'BETWEEN' );
   						}

   and then call this array as the value of 'meta_query':

   'meta_query' => $filters

   This now works as expected.
