Search in Custom fields

You want more than one form field using the one custom field in the posts?

If so, that is not possible. You would need separate custom fields.

e.g. One for Base
One for crust filling
One for size
One for Toppings

Yes i’ve done but if the for fileds have , how source. the same table ( for example A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H, ) if i insert A on first field – B in the second – C in the thirth and a user goes to search form and select C in the first filed i do not receive any result also if the product has inside the C .
Inerting the oingredients can not be established by a rule and i can not know what could be the first ingredient that a user will go to search in site .

Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

Actually i do not have a page with that search form because i’m trying to understand how and if is possibile because i think that this kind of search is not “Normal” having N custom fileds that mus tbe joined not only form AND condition but also with a global search on all the custom fields of form.
For this reason i’ve chosen tha checkbox and categories and not the dropdown with custom field

I think, maybe, we are using terms and confusing each other. When I talk about a custom field, I mean a Post Meta field attached to a post or post type.

I think maybe you mean a field in a form that is custom. A filter. I think what you want is a single custom field attached to a post type, with data terms in it, represented by more than one filter in the form, where there are rules/logic about linking these and how they work together. IF that is that you want, that is not possible.

As I said, it would help if I could see, with a visualization, what you want to achieve.

Some custom fields can be allowed to have more than one value (multiple values). ACF allows this depending on the type of field (for example, checkbox allows this).

Is this thread ready to be closed?
