Query if custom field value equals a current user value

  • As a result of the way we are creating posts, some will have a related user attached as a custom field value of that user’s WP username.

    I’m trying to create a loop, to be dropped into a page, that queries for all posts where the custom field value equals that of the currently logged in username.

    I’m at a loss as to how, or if its even possible, to ask WP to search for and compare these two variables.

    All help is very gratefully received.

  • Here is some sample code that should get you started:

    $paged = ($_GET['paged']) ? $_GET['paged'] :
   (($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1);
$args = array(
   'posts_per_page' => 10,
   'paged' => $paged,
   'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
   'meta_key' => 'my-custom-field',  // Put your custom field name here
   'meta_value' => $current_user->user_login,
);
$myquery = new WP_QUERY($args);
if ( $myquery->have_posts() ) {
   while ( $myquery->have_posts() ) {
      $myquery->the_post();
      // Put the code here to display the post
      echo '<p>'; the_title(); echo '</p>';
   }
}
wp_reset_query();
