As the question about the IDs was answered your example would be offtopic, but thank you for the input i will look into how to use get_option in this context.

How are you saving the postmeta? via plugin or by the save_post hook or custom fields or...?

| May 20, 2016 at 18:20 | comment | added | matjaeck | The metadata wil be applied to a CPT without any requirements to page or post attributes. If I modify the question, can you give an example? | |

Do you set this on a post by post basis? If not it would be easier and probably better suited as an option then you could just use get_option() and be done with the whole thing.

The meta value will contain an array of post IDs. I want to get these IDs and use $query->set ('post__in', array($myIDs)); to alter the main query.

What kind of post meta do you need in a pre_get_posts hook? Why not save it as an option? Your errors probably relate to this bug in which get_queried_object() has the possibility of returning NULL to one of the normal conditionals. Have you tried $wp_query->is_front_page() instead?
