query posts and custom post type with meta key

I’m afraid WP_Query is not able to fetch (Posts with custom field) or (ailec_even). You’ll have to query the firs one, than the second one and merge those arrays. Use WP_Query instead of query_posts.

How to sort category by custom field value

by

Your question it make sense to me my friend but the get_categories don’t have the option to order by “meta_value_num” and then order by custom fields.

How to use Meta Value Compare in WP_Query For Max and Min numbers

This looks right, I have very similar code that works as expected: function price_query_test() { update_post_meta( 7, ‘_price’, 10 ); update_post_meta( 12, ‘_price’, 20 ); update_post_meta( 18, ‘_price’, 30 ); update_post_meta( 72, ‘_price’, 40 ); $test = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘_price’, ‘value’ => array( ’10’, ’25’ … Read more
