Exclude post using costum fields

Resolved

(@sjteef)

Hi,

is there a way to assign post to the widget by giving it a costum variable? or to exclude using this method.

Current situation

<?php
/**
 * Flexible Posts Widget: Default widget template
 */

// Block direct requests
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	die('-1');

echo $before_widget;

if ( !empty($title) )
	echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;

if( $flexible_posts->have_posts() ):
?>
	<ul class="dpe-flexible-posts">
	<?php while( $flexible_posts->have_posts() ) : $flexible_posts->the_post(); global $post; ?>

<hr>

<span class="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>

			<a href="<?php echo the_permalink(); ?>">
					<?php the_title(); ?></h4>
			</a>

	<?php endwhile; ?>
	</ul><!-- .dpe-flexible-posts -->
<?php else: // We have no posts ?>
	<div class="dpe-flexible-posts no-posts">
		<p><?php _e( 'Geen actuele storingen', 'flexible-posts-widget' ); ?></p>
	</div>
<?php
endif; // End have_posts()

echo $after_widget;

Hi sjteef,

If I understand your question correctly, you’d like to be able to adjust what posts are returned based on a a custom post meta key/value? If that is the case, there is a filter available on the FPW query: dpe_fpw_args. You’d need to adjust the query variables to use custom meta values as parameters of the query.

The code would look something like this (only an example):
```
add_filter( 'dpe_fpw_args', 'fpw_custom_args' );
function fpw_custom_args( $args ) {
		$args['meta_key'] = 'my_custom_key';
		$args['meta_value'] = 'my_custom_value';
	}
	return $args;
}
```
In the future, I’m planning to add another widget specifically for querying by custom meta values; but as it stands now, FPW doesn’t support this natively. You’ll have to use the filter and write the parameters yourself.

Thanks for using the plugin!

Forgot to mention that you’d need to add this filter to your theme’s functions.php file. Cheers!

Hi Stefan,

Unfortunately, it isn’t really easy to explain without some knowledge of code. In your situation I’d recommend finding a developer who can help you or trying another plugin/option for your situation.

Sorry I can’t be more help!
