[Resolved] How to filter by more than one checkbox

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The metafield is not created by Types plugin but a standard worpress metafield, values are separated by comma
When searching by checkboxes, a single checkbox is checked, it return the good result, but more one is checked no results

[wpv-control-postmeta display_values="Famille,Noces/Anniversaire de mariage,Pension,Golf,Spa,Remise" values="Famille,Noces/Anniversaire de mariage,Pension,Golf,Spa,Remise" field="attributs_offres_intranet_wp" type="checkboxes" source="custom" url_param="wpv-attributs_offres_intranet_wp" output="legacy"]

Solution:

The checkboxes field in Views custom search form does not support the custom field you mentioned above:

but a standard worpress metafield
values are separated by comma

In you case, I suggest you try with some custom PHP codes, when user submit the search form, use filter hook "wpv_filter_query" to trigger a PHP function, in this function, get the "wpv-attributs_offres_intranet_wp" value submitted by user:

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php

Apply them into the Views query one by one:

See the example codes

I am trying to help you to setup the custom codes, but you did not provide the detail steps.

How can I "BE CONNECTED"?
Please provide detail steps.

And have you checked the custom field "attributs_offres_intranet_wp" value of above two posts?
That will help a lots!

Please have a look at your own screenshot:

For the same post(ID 609), post title "Casadelmar – Corse", there are two records for custom field "attributs_offres_intranet_wp",
1) Famille, Golf
2) Golf, SPA

So it is expected result that Views will output post (ID 609) as the result, when you filter by Famille + Golf + SPA

Hope it is clear.
