Custom display results with WP_Query that contains ‘post__in’

Hello, I’m trying to implement filtering on set array of posts defined in WP_Query parameters. The WP_Query works (the right posts show up) without Search & Filter Pro, but when I add it into the mix, the WP_Query displays ALL ‘posts’ not the posts defined in the ‘posts__in’ array. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your time.

$favposts = $user->simplefavorites[0]['posts'];
// $favposts returns as: 
// Array ( [0] => 201 [1] => 194 [2] => 196 [3] => 191 [4] => 199 [5] => 202 )

$args = array(
   'post_type' => 'post',
   'post__in'  => $favposts
);
$args['search_filter_id'] = 377;
$query = new WP_Query($args);

// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
	while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
		$query->the_post();
		
		?><div class="card"><?php the_title(); ?></div><?php
		
	}
} else {
	// no posts found
}

Unfortunately, our plugin will override your post__in setting, as we use that to send the final list of IDs to the database. That means you cannot use it.

Hrm, bummer. Is there some other work around to programmatically search a limited array of posts?

Hmmm, you could use a really late pre_get_posts, check what is in post__in, and array_intersect with your array?

Just a theory.

In a pre_get_posts, you can check $query->get('search_filter_id') to check if the query is a S&F query.

Thanks

Thanks for the theory and your support! I’ll investigate and report back if I’m able to get it to work.

…to be continued.
