How to use ACF repeater field with meta_query?

Hello there! Welcome back to another TechSolutionsHere article. In this article, I will show you how to use ACF repeater field with meta_query.

Let’s get started!

• Trying to loop through an ACF repeater field using a meta_query, inside the WP_Query? All you need is a function to replace the way the meta_key works.

You need to add the following code into the theme/plugin functions.php/plugin-name.php file:

function tsh_replace_repeater_field( $where ) {
     $where = str_replace( "meta_key = 'yourrepeaterkey_$", "meta_key LIKE 'yourrepeaterkey_%", $where );
     return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'tsh_replace_repeater_field' );

Then go to your WP_Query’s arguments and use the meta_query parameter following:

$args = array(
     'post_type' => 'posttype', // your post type name here
     'meta_query' => array(
          array(
               'key' => 'yourrepeaterkey_$_repeateritemkey',
               'value' => 1,
               'compare' => '='
          )
     )
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
     // Do loop content
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

That’s it
