Display result 'custom' and 'slug'

Hi,

It’s possible to use ‘slug’ instead of ‘id’ in ‘display result custom’ ? (As it is done in shortcode slug)

Something like this:

$args = array(‘post_type’ => ‘post’);
$args[‘search_filter_slug’] = ‘name’;
$query = new WP_Query($args);

Hey Jose

Currently its not an option like that.

However, you could use native WP functions to look the ID based on slug:

The post type for our search forms is search-filter-widget 🙂

Actually this may not work depending on how you are entering slug…

This I think is dependant on your display results method..

If you goto screen options in the search form, and make sure you view the slug, this is the slug can work in the above example I think.. I haven’t actually tried the above code yet though.

Works fine:

if ( $sf_post = get_page_by_path( 'my_sf_form', OBJECT, 'search-filter-widget' ) )
    $sf_id = $sf_post->ID;
else
    $sf_id = 0;

// args
$args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => -1,	
	'post_type' => 'my_cpt',
);

$args['search_filter_id'] = $sf_id;

// query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
