Displaying pages with a specific custom meta

Question

Basically I have 3 Custom Meta checkboxes that I want to be able to filter by let's just use Member 1, Member 2, and Member 3 for these.

The kicker however is that some may use 2,or even all 3 of these.

What I need to be able to do is list all of the pages that have one checked. So a page called 'Member 1' would display anyone with that tag. 'Member 2' would display the same and so on. I've been told that I may be able to accomplish this with wp_list_pages(), but I've had no luck so far.

Also is there a way that I can make my menu dropdowns automatically display these. Like I have a menu labelled Member 1 and when I hover over it, it will show all of the Member 1 checked pages?

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

You'll need to test that this works, but I've just been looking at source and I think it will.

wp_list_pages doesn't officially take meta keys or values in its arguments, but it does pass its argument array straight on to get_pages, which does allow you to make a meta query. So, you ought to be able to do this to get pages where the custom field member_2 has the value yes:

echo wp_list_pages( array(
    'meta_key' => 'member_2', 
    'meta_value' => 'yes',
) );

I'd be interested to know if it works!
