DROPDOWN ISSUE for CPT & Custom Fields:

I created a search filter called Professionals in this wordpress website. The filter can be found on the frontend page: https://kjk.com/people-test/

As you will see, the first name and last name text fields are working fine. But my dropdown filters are not filtering correctly. They pull a list of professionals, but they aren’t related to the associated custom filter. The search is based off of a CPT called Professionals and custom fields for Professionals “title” and “office”. I’ve gone through your custom fields tutorial, but there is no example of a dropdown so I’m wondering if I just have the setup incorrect?

Hi,

Thank you very much for the details!

I checked the configuration, and found a minor issue causing the problem. The custom field comparator was set to “EQUALS”, which is for numeric values, while these are strings. I changed them to EXACTLY LIKE, and that resolved the problem.

Perfect! Thanks!
