I have a post type called ‘Writers’ and another post type called ‘Documents’.
I use the Relationship field in Advanced Custom Fields to link a list of Writers (post objects) to a Document. This means that the field is basically an array containing multiple writers (some contain only one).
I have a template in my theme where I display additional information for each Writer inside their individual posts. I would like to display a list of documents they have contributed to (i.e. Posts containing the writer’s name in the relationship field).
I have tried the following query but it doesn’t work:
$item = 0;
$writerName = get_the_title();
$my_contributions = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'documents',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'doc_contributors',
'meta_value' => $writerName,
'meta_compare' => 'LIKE'
) );
if( $my_contributions->have_posts() ) :
while( $my_contributions->have_posts() ) :
$my_contributions->the_post();
$item++;
?>
<div class="list-line margint10 clearfix">
<?php echo esc_attr( $item ) . ". " ?><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/213369/<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php get_the_title( $my_contributions->ID ); ?></a>
<br />
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
