Based on example here https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/03/30/query-improvements-in-wp-4-2-orderby-and-meta_query/ I’d like to modify the query $q = new WP_Query( array( ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, ‘state_clause’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘state’, ‘value’ => ‘Wisconsin’, ), ‘city_clause’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘city’, ‘compare’ => ‘EXISTS’, ), ), ‘orderby’ => ‘city_clause’) ); to be able to get all posts where … Read more
