Custom Loop by Post Types AND Custom Meta Values

    Hey there! I have a request for a specific custom loop.

    1. I want to display only custom post types “success-stories” on a page
    2. I want to display only the posts in success stories with the custom field values $company1, $company2, $company3
    3. $company1, $company2, $company3 are defined in custom fields on the host page panel (pricing page for example).

    Here’s what I have so far :

    <?php 

		// what companies to highlihght - that works I verfied
		$company1 = sprintf("'%s'", get_field( 'company_highlight_1' ));
		$company2 = sprintf("'%s'", get_field( 'company_highlight_2' ));
		$company3 = sprintf("'%s'", get_field( 'company_highlight_3' ));

		// args
		$args = array(
			'post_type'		=> 'success-story',
			'meta_query' => array(
				array(
          'key' => 'name_company',
          'value' => array($company1, $company2, $company3),
          'compare' => 'IN',
        )
    	)
		);

		$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

		?>

		<?php if ( $loop->have_posts() ) : while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

		<div class="men__test">
			<h4><?php echo get_field('company_name', $post->ID); ?></h4>
			<p><?php echo get_field('front_page_extract', $post->ID); ?></p>
			<a class="men__hlink" href="story.html">Learn how <?php echo get_field('company_name', $post->ID); ?> uses XXXXX</a>
		</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

    But unfortunately it displays nothing.

    Any idea? Thanks a lot!

    Got it

    <?php
		// what companies to highlihght
		$company1 = get_field( 'company_highlight_1' );
		$company2 = get_field( 'company_highlight_2' );
		$company3 = get_field( 'company_highlight_3' );

		// args
		$args = array(
			'numberposts'	=> -1,
			'post_type'	=> 'success-story',
			'meta_query' => array(
				'relation'	=> 'OR',
	      array(
					'key'	=> 'name_company',
					'value'	=> $company1,
					'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
				),
				array(
					'key'	=> 'name_company',
					'value'	=> $company2,
					'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
				),
				array(
					'key'	=> 'name_company',
					'value'	=> $company3,
					'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
				)
    	)
		);

		$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
		?>

    Thanks 🙂
