ACF Checkbox not filtering

Anonymous

Next step. I think it is not related to our other issue:
https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/dynamic-result-url/

I made a custom field with ACF with 3 checkbox options
I added post meta in S&F and using the right meta key (gotcha)
We use EDD and added some value to couple downloads, but the list is not filtering those value’s.

Instead it is still showing all posts:

Any idea?
Thanks

Something very odd is going on. If I look at the media_type custom field, S&F can show me the values it finds in the database:

Can you confirm that you are using these instructions:

As modified by this advice:

It says there are only two values, and that SFX does not exist as a value.

And yet I see it in the form:

It should not even appear if it is not being used in the database.

What you describe sounds like either your theme or another plugin is modifying the query (maybe using pre_get_posts). Or maybe a cache delivering the wrong content (try switching off W3TotalCache).

No we are not using Elementor pro.

I tried disabling Total cache (and all other plugins) but still not working.

I made that SFX field in ACF.

I created a Field label called “Media Type” with Checkbox as field type.
Then I added 3 choices, Tracks, Loops and SFX.

I can see the database with Ari Adminer.

Hi Trevor,

Im not using Skype.

Is it to much work to troubleshoot or fix this “issue”?
If yes maybe we sould consider hiring a developer or something.

I need to do some testing using a Test form and a test page. Is it OK for me to make these (they can be deleted later)?
