I was unable to create a WP_Query – I believe it is not possible to solve this using a regular WP_Query – but managed to create an SQL statement that does exactly what I want: SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt1 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt1.post_id) … Read more
With such custom requirements it’s unlikely you will just happen upon a snippet to achieve it. This is considerable chunk of customization and working with hierarchical data is always challenging. When you are working with wp_list_pages() what is happening in background is that it compiles data and passes to instance of Walker_Page class, that extends … Read more

I think this is what you’re looking for: $$arr_name = array(); If $arr_name = ‘post_title’, then the above would mean: $post_title = array();

As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: ‘[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*’ Hence before diving into your code further: It would need much … Read more
If you haven’t assigned it to any hook and you don’t call it, then it can’t work – this function is never called. You should assign it to pre_get_posts hook, I guess (at least it looks so). Add this after your function: add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘ah_meta_queries’ ); It should work fine then.
