Search by ACF Field in Custom Post Type

Hi, I’m new to Search & Filter Pro. I have created two post types “Products” and “solutions” A product will have a taxonomy that relates it to a solution. On the solutions page I want to show related products.

My idea was to use this plugin and then have an ACF field “related_category” that the user would pick to show related products to that solution when creating the post. I’m running into two problems:

1. I don’t want to create a filter for each solution. I want it to be the same for all solutions and the only change (dynamically) would be the category via the chosen ACF.

2. I want to set the filter to be equal to the value of the ACF category chosen.

Is this possible?

Hey Trevor, I couldn’t get it work the way I wanted either. I coded a WPQuery to do the job and a custom function to output the HTML and the data.

For future releases, this would be a great feature for developers to be able to assign a related post type via ACF and add the search to a custom post type template via page builder and then that could be populated dynamically based on the post type and ACF field of related posts.
