@bejita Which variables are you trying to get from the ajax request?
Are you getting data from the querystring?

@dcooney the data are from the front-end, typed in two innput textfields and selected from input select form.
Sorry, I don’t understand. How are you planning to get these values inside the alm_query_args filter?
If you know the variables, you could piece together a dynamic shortcode based on those values, rather than trying to access them during the Ajax request.
That said, in the next version of Ajax Load More I’ve built a solution for passing variables to the Repeater Templates and the alm_query_args filter.

For example`
function my_movie_listing($args, $id){
$args['post_type'] = 'movie';
$args['meta_query'] = array(
array(
'key' => 'custom-field1',
'value' => $value1,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
);
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'alm_query_args_movie_listing', 'my_movie_listing', 10, 2);
The $value1 is not a fixed value but data from form, and that’s the question, how can I set this value. How can I make dynamic shortcode based on those values, is there a documentation ?
No docs, but a most basic example would be as follows.
$variable = 'my input value';
$customfields = '';
if ( $variable ) {
$customfields = ' meta_key="custom-field1" meta_value="' . $variable . '" meta_compare="LIKE"';
}
echo do_shortcode( '[ajax_load_more post_type="movie"' . $customfields . ']' );
Obviously, if you have more than one variable you need to string them together.

Thank you for your response, I will try it
@bejita
Here is an updated method of passing variables to a Repeater Template or Filter.
https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/code-samples/passing-variables/
You can use the vars param and access it in the $args of the hook.
