Get() is returning unpublished/trashed items

    I am using CFS with a custom post type (‘writers’) which includes a related field, so each writer can state which other writers they are similar to. To show a complete list of who is related to a given writer, I combine two lookups: a simple lookup of their ‘related’ field and a reverse lookup of other writers and their ‘related’ fields.

    By default get() and get_reverse_related are returning all ‘writer’ records including those that are draft or in trash. I need to filter this to just return those that are published.

    With get_reverse_related this is fine:

    CFS()->get_reverse_related($post->ID, array(‘field_name’ => ‘similar_to’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’));

    However I cannot work out how to filter the output of get() in a similar way so that it returns just published ‘writers’.

    Please can you help, or give me some pointers?

    Thanks,

    Philip

    Hey, that’s correct, that method will return all matching post IDs, regardless of its post status.

    To get around this issue, you’ll need to then pass those post IDs through WP_Query to get only the ones you want. E.g.

    $related_ids = CFS()->get_reverse_related( $post->ID, array( 'field_name' => 'similar_to' ) );
$related_ids = empty( $related_ids ) ? array( 0 ) : $related_ids;

$query = new WP_Query( array(
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'post_type' => 'any',
  'post__in' => $related_ids,
  'fields' => 'ids',
) );

// the good array of post ids
$final_post_ids = $query->posts;

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks very much for sorting that out for me.

    Have a great day,
