Been working on a project for the past couple of days, and spent a bit of time this morning trying to get WordPress to do something. As usual, WordPress came through. Just took me knowing what to enter.
What I’m working on is a plugin that adds to the <head> section of a page based on meta_key values in the posts. There are two potential keys, and if either one or both have content I need to act.
To start, I used the meta_query field in the query_posts function. Worked like a charm, but would only find if one of the two meta keys wasn’t blank. Dug a bit into meta.php and found what I was after.
$myPosts = query_posts(array(
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'field_1',
'value' => '',
'compare' => '!='
),
array(
'key' => 'field_2',
'value' => '',
'compare' => '!='
)
)
));
That was it. Just added relation=’OR’ to the argument array and now it finds all posts that have a value in either one of those meta keys.
