    Hi,
    I’m wondering about filters. What I’d like to do is having a filter that when checked show all the results for a filed that is NOT empty.
    I’m using ACF Pro with urls are fields. I want to filter if a field is not empty. I’m not too sure how to do that.
    So for example having a checkbox: X Website and if checked it displays all the results where the URL field is not empty…if it makes sense.
    Thank you

    Hi,

    Well, in case of URLs, you could make a simple checkbox filter, and use a value like “http” or so, since all URLs contain that string. If that string is matched, then it will display the results.

    It may actually work.

    Thank you. I’ll try that. To extend the question…there’s non way to search for value not being empty? I have a few custom fields on posts and I want to search if they are empty or not. So for example I’m using ACF Pro with a repeater field with images. I want to filter posts that do have any picture from that field. Is that something possible?

    Hi,

    Well, the query can only check if a specific character/set of characters is present within the field contents. The empty filters are automatically removed. If possible, I would recommend checking against a short string, or a character, as I mentioned above.
