There is an interesting answer on SO which present different methods to resolve that issue: How do I query for posts by partial meta key?
- By custom SQL query (in my project I’ve used that solution)
- By changing the meta schema to store the dynamic
meta_keyas ameta_value - By using the
posts_wherefilter to update query behaviour based on input
