   I'm using the value of a form post var in this meta_query but the result page is returning every post in the category, seemingly ignoring the key/value:

   $args = array(
   		'category_name' => 'dealers',
   		'meta_query' => array(
   			array(
   				'key' => 'state',
   				'value' => '"' . $locationData . '"'
   			)
   		),
   		'orderby' => 'title',
   		'order' => 'ASC',
   		'posts_per_page' => '-1'
   	);
   
   	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   
   	//Show posts
   	if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   	blah blah etc.

   Also, it's ignoring the -1 for posts_per_page (which should attempt display all matching posts).

   Have I made a glaring error or is there an issue with this syntax?

   Thanks.

   try with this
   

   $args = array(
   		'category_name' => 'dealers',
   		'meta_query' => array(
   			array(
   				'key' => 'state',
   				'value' => $locationData
   			)
   		),
   		'orderby' => 'title',
   		'order' => 'ASC',
   		'posts_per_page' => '-1'
   	);
   
   	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   
   	//Show posts
   	if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
   	blah blah etc.

   Ah, so simple. I have to be careful where I copy code from...

   Works great--gold star for you!
