 * Hi,
 * I was wondering if it is possible to search a Custom Post Type and a Custom Field
   I have created for that post type?
 * Would it be easy to implement myself if it is not possible?
 * Thank you so much.

 * Hey,
 * I’ve been a bit slow with the release of my next version but it’s going to feature
   custom field functionality as well but I’ve not been able to move it out anywhere
   near as soon as I’d have hoped.
 * It is possible to add but it just depends on how much experience you have with
   WordPress/PHP.

 * Hi
 * Would it be possible to point us in the right direction to add this feature for
   ourselves ? Is it possible to just add core modifications into a child theme,
   Im guessing files to edit would be meta_box_form.php and acps_core_functions.
   php.
 * All Im trying to do is add some checkboxes to the form and use these as search
   criteria from custom fields of custom post types.
 * Thank you

 * You’d need to run a meta_query in the WP_Query as well. I’ve actually integrated
   checkboxes now so you’d need to use something similar to that and loop the custom
   fields instead.
