| Apr 13, 2023 at 18:33 | comment | added | user231567 | Thank you for the response! I appreciate the help. Unfortunately, we didn't want to go the user route and made each entry as a custom post type. I wouldn't have access to the surname option with the route we decided to go with. Would I be able to add more items to this line "$query->set( 'meta_key', 'last_name' );" that addresses the custom content field? | |
