I am trying to: Use a checkboxes field as a query filter

I expected to see: The custom field as a query filter

Instead, I got: The regular query filter screen but the field is not there 🙁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created a set of five (5) custom fields (screenshot1) for a CPT on my site. One of those fields is a "checkboxes" field called "Location" and setup with either a 0 or a 1 value (screenshot2), however when I try and setup a filter using that field it is not displaying in the list of fields I can select (screenshot3).

Hi Bobby,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Has an option on a post been selected for the checkbox ?

If not could you please try selecting an option on any post to see if the filter will display the custom field.

If this does not work please let me know as well as provide admin access to the site so that I can have a look for you.

Thanks,
Shane
