I have a custom post type called "bids". I'm trying to get the loop to filter posts according to a meta_query. The query should allow for only posts that have the radio button with the value "open" checked. The meta boxes show up properly in the admin and save, but the filtering is not working.
Anyone know where I went wrong? I suspect it's somewhere in the 2nd section...

Reset to default 0I think I found another way. Seems to be working great.

echo $query->request;just before the white statement? That will help to see what SQL is actually running. Secondly, you could check thewp_postmetatable to see ifr_inputVisis there. – Alexander Holsgrove Commented Feb 8, 2019 at 23:49define('WP_DEBUG', true);set, and do you see anything in your site error log file? – Alexander Holsgrove Commented Feb 9, 2019 at 0:38
