Value ‘like’ instead of exact?

    Dear Support,

    Currently I’m working with a CPT that has ACF fields and I want to loop a CPT based on a term that’s inside of one of those ACF fields. But the cpt results have a different name, for example:

    Computer
    Computor
    A Computer

    How do I get the results based on the value, but instead of exact (=) it’s like? So if I use (value=comput) it shows all three of the above?

    Thank you for your reply. THat actually breaks the page (can’t even open it in my wp-admin)?

    A sorry, contain works only in if clauses, in a loops you could use start=

    Okay now I have 2 questions:
    1. How do I edit the page, since I can’t open it the page anymore?
    2. Start is only for when it’s at the start right? But as you can see in the list, 1 doesn’t start with ‘comp’ but with ‘A ‘:
    Computer
    Computor
    A Computer
    So will this still work?

    1. Disable this Plugin, open the page, edit and save – reactivate the plugin again.

    2. Nope. Then you have to work around with an if clause and use contains.

    Thank you for 1. Done that.

    2. Could you give me an example I can work with? Currently I have:
    [loop type=study field=study_name contains=’architecture’]

    And I need:
    – architecture
    – architect
    – the architecture

    [loop type=study]
[if  field=study_name contains=’architect’]
DO WHAT YOU LIKE
[/if]
[/loop]

    I tried that, but it’s showing all the posts of the type=study now?

    If I try that with some of my content it works great.

    [loop type=circuit]
[if field=title contains='burg']
[field title]
[/if]
[/loop]

    Gives me the only correct post named “*burg*” i.e. Hamburg. Also it would give me hamburger

    Ah I see what the problem was, I’ve got multiple [if]’s in my file to only display certain code if a certain acf field is filled. So I guess you can’t have an [if] within another [if]?

    If so, how to only display certain code, if a certain field is filled?

    Or can we have an if within an if?

    There is a documentation telling you all of that.

    Yes, its possible to use multiple nested [if]. Use [-if] for nested.
