Hi,

I have created a custom post type with a checkbox fields. User can select one or more checkbox fields.

Now, I want to get a view where I need to showcase all posts which have a specific checkbox field data.

For e.g. My checkbox field name is category with values -> A, B, C, D

Now I want to set up a view so that I can view all pages with values A or B

Kindly help me with this.

Regards,
Lokesh

Hi, in this case you should edit the Query Filter for this custom field to use the option "in" instead of "equal to". See the attached screenshot. If you cannot see the Query Filter in your View editor screen, scroll to the top right corner and click "Screen Options". You can activate the Query Filter panel here.

Hi,

As per the attached image, Things seem to be working. However when I pass something random in the query param, I get all the results. Any idea how to fix this?

Our developers have let me know this issue should be resolved in the upcoming Views 3.2 release. I'll keep you posted here as I receive more information.

Hi, I have a quick update about this issue. Views 3.2 is now available for download but unfortunately I was misinformed about the scope of changes related to this problem. I was under the impression that the Views 3.2 update would completely solve the problem, however it turns out that part of the problem must be addressed in the Types plugin. We are still in the process of finalizing that change, and it will be included in the next release of Types. Again, I will keep you posted on the timeline for delivery of the next Types release, and I apologize for the misinformation I provided earlier.
