I am currently trying to retrieve an post (to put it before all others in the search results of a search filter I created) from an ACF boolean field (and I am a beginner), so I made this script but I don't get the expected result:
in my function.php:
// Set Meta Query Relation
$metaQueryRelation = array( 'relation' => 'AND' );
// Build Meta Query Params
$metaQueryParams = array(
'relation' => 'OR',
'display_not_first' => array(
'key' => 'order_by_first_post',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
),
'display_first' => array(
'key' => 'order_by_first_post',
'compare' => 'EXISTS'
),
);
In the result file
// Get WP_Query custom args.
$argsRecipesGrid = buildArgs($params);
$display_first = $metaQueryParams['display_first']['compare'];
$result[$key] = arrayCopy( $val );
$queryRecipesGrid = new WP_Query( $argsRecipesGrid );
/** partie de code Richardson **/
$queryRecipesGrid = array();
// The sorting loop
foreach ($queryRecipesGrid as $post ){
if ($display_first['compare'] == 'EXISTS'){
array_unshift($display_first, $post);
}
if($post->have_posts()):
?>
<div class="recipes-row<?php echo $params['mines'] ? ' row-count-3' : ''; ?>">
<?php
while( $queryRecipesGrid->have_posts() ): $queryRecipesGrid->the_post();
?>
<div class="recipe-col">
<a class="list--item-link" <?php if(get_post_status() == 'publish'){?>href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"<?php }; ?>>
<?php get_template_part('tpl/recipes/card'); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
else :
echo '<div class="grid-row">';
echo '<div class="grid-col-12">';
echo '<p>' . __('Aucun résultat', 'galbani') . '</p>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';
endif;
?>
<?php
echo get_pagination($queryRecipesGrid, $params);
?>

Reset to default 0It looks like you're clearing the queried posts by setting the posts var to an empty array.
$queryRecipesGrid = new WP_Query( $argsRecipesGrid ); // first you get the posts here
/** partie de code Richardson **/
$queryRecipesGrid = array(); // then you wipe them out by setting the same var to empty array.
Regarding the sorting, please refer to the example I provided you earlier, How to always display a specific post from the search result first
$my_acf_value = 1; // it might make sense to have this as post ID (as integer)
// Do your query
$queryRecipesGrid = new WP_Query( $argsRecipesGrid );
// Sort posts
$sorted_posts = array();
if ($queryRecipesGrid->posts) {
foreach ( $queryRecipesGrid->posts as $post ) {
if ( $post->ID == $my_acf_value ) { // change this to match your needs
array_unshift($sorted_posts, $post);
} else {
$sorted_posts[] = $post;
}
}
}
// Render the posts
if ($sorted_posts) {
foreach($sorted_posts as $sorted_post) {
// html stuff
}
}
NB: I used post ID for sorting in this example for the sake of simplicity. Please modify the code to match your real use case and data.
