    I have a filter set up to find all posts with a relationship to an ACF called “people”, it returns all results with a relationship to a “person” post but I would also like to return the “person” post itself in the search results.

    What is the easiest way to include it in my results?
    I have tried something like this:

    function people_filter( $query_args, $sfid ) {
    if($sfid == 7287)
    {
    	if ($_GET["_sfm_people"] != "") {
      		$query_args['p'] = intval($_GET["_sfm_people"]);
  	}
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'people_filter', 10, 200 );

    But this returns the “person” post only, I would instead like to add it to the already compiled results.

    The best thing to do to start debugging is to echo out to the page, before and after, what the query array is, using <pre> tags and the PHP print_r function. There are examples in this forum if you search for print_r

    Hmm, I’m getting an empty array. My code:

    function people_filter( $query_args, $sfid ) {
    if($sfid == 7287)
    {
      		echo '<pre>',print_r($query_args,true),'</pre>';
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'people_filter', 10, 200 );

    It’s strange because the archive page is displaying results, maybe it’s firing too late?

    It was actually firing too early. Still I can’t seem to add the post to the results.
    Here is my code:

    function people_filter( $query_args, $sfid ) {
   if($sfid == 7287)
    {
    	if ($_GET["_sfm_people"] != "") {
    		array_push($query_args['post__in'], intval($_GET["_sfm_people"]));
    		echo '<pre>',print_r($query_args,true),'</pre>';
  		}
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'people_filter', 20, 2 );

    And here is what the print_r is echoing:

    Array
(
    [paged] => 1
    [search_filter_id] => 7238
    [search_filter_override] => 
    [posts_per_page] => -1
    [post_status] => Array
        (
            [0] => publish
        )

    [meta_query] => Array
        (
        )

    [post_type] => Array
        (
            [0] => lesson
            [1] => people
            [2] => video
            [3] => image
            [4] => article
        )

    [is_search] => 1
    [post__in] => 
)

    Can you test what this actually is:

    $_GET["_sfm_people"]

    by echoing it. I wonder if the code isn’t actually going into the condition because the condition fails?

    Yes, it echos correctly. In this case it is “1691” which is the id of the “person” post being queried. The condition is successful, I can echo the $query_args from inside of it.
