Meta Field Compare options

I have a Sleeps meta field option (eg: 2::2 | 3::3 | 4::4, etc).
What setting/option should I set in the Compare dropdown to return results *up to* the sleeps number (eg: select 4 in the Sleeps dropdown box and results will return all properties sleeping up to 4?
I’m currently only getting exact matches (eg: properties marked as sleeping 4), but properties can have empty room (and should therefore list in results).
Hope that makes sense; any steer on Compare type to use would be appreciated 🙂

You can use “less then or equal to”, which represent by ‘<=’

Thanks TC.K – have updated the Compare option but still getting issues; if you select Sleeps – 9 in the search field, the results return a listing with just 8 (http://new.ppaproperties.com/?unonce=3f61be326e&uformid=117&s=uwpsfsearchtrg&taxo%5B0%5D%5Bname%5D=country&taxo%5B0%5D%5Bopt%5D=1&taxo%5B0%5D%5Bterm%5D=uwpqsftaxoall&taxo%5B1%5D%5Bname%5D=region&taxo%5B1%5D%5Bopt%5D=&taxo%5B1%5D%5Bterm%5D=uwpqsftaxoall&cmf%5B0%5D%5Bmetakey%5D=minprice&cmf%5B0%5D%5Bcompare%5D=7&cmf%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=uwpqsfcmfall&cmf%5B1%5D%5Bmetakey%5D=maxprice&cmf%5B1%5D%5Bcompare%5D=7&cmf%5B1%5D%5Bvalue%5D=uwpqsfcmfall&cmf%5B2%5D%5Bmetakey%5D=sleeps&cmf%5B2%5D%5Bcompare%5D=6&cmf%5B2%5D%5Bvalue%5D=+9&cmf%5B3%5D%5Bmetakey%5D=bedrooms&cmf%5B3%5D%5Bcompare%5D=1&cmf%5B3%5D%5Bvalue%5D=uwpqsfcmfall&cmf%5B4%5D%5Bmetakey%5D=bathrooms&cmf%5B4%5D%5Bcompare%5D=1&cmf%5B4%5D%5Bvalue%5D=uwpqsfcmfall)
The search results also seem to take a long time to return?

You should use ‘<=’ compare operator, but in your form you are using ‘>=’.

The searching time is quite fast on my test. Maybe the server is busy when you test the search?

Hi – I have set at <= (as seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0t87pu725ucwbk2/screen.jpg?dl=0) – any ideas?

Hi – I’ve fixed the operators/options, but I’m still getting a very slow/non-existant response from my server (have checked the system, and all oter sites running fine).
I have a simple search with just 2 fields, which runs fine – my advanced search with multiple fields seems to be hanging the server: http://new.ppaproperties.com/search/
Can you please help?
Thanks

It was pretty fast on my test. I didn’t see any slowness on the site.
However, the more filters you use in the search or the more posts in your site, the more server resources will required.

Thanks; still having problems with advanced search (as per link above); can you advise what META and operators I’d need to allow a user to:

– select a country
– select a sleeps number (sleeps up to but no more than x)
– select a minimum price (no less than)
– select a max price (no more than)

All these fields (once selected/set) should work together to filter results (eg: France, sleeps 6 or less, price range £2000 – £9000 (via min and max price fields).

I’ve tried to set these, but results being returned seem to be ignoring the rules/selections

Thanks
Rob

Hi TC.K, have opened a new post to review the BETWEEN operator for price range: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/price-rangebetween-option?replies=1
Would really appreciate your help, as I need to launch my client’s website
Thanks
