php - Wordpress Search Query - Meta Queries & Custom Fields -


question of ya. have current query running on search page template, , seems working fine if search query seems included in title of post, when include meta query try , in spot search term, doesn't gather results, same results had before.

second question, reason still displaying 6 (the number of posts set in wp admin) posts, , not listening query.

       <?php // wp_user_query arguments         $search_term = get_search_query();         $args = array (             'post_type' => 'courses',             'order' => 'asc',             'orderby' => 'title',             'posts_per_page' => -1,             'nopaging' => true,             's' => '*'.$search_term.'*',             'meta_query' => array(                 array(                     'key' => 'course_id',                     'value' => $search_term,                     'compare' => 'like'                 )             )         );          $wp_course_query = new wp_query($args);         // results         $courses = $wp_course_query; ?>          <?php // check results         if (!empty($courses->get_posts())) { ?>                 <ul class="course-list">                   <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>                  <li> <?php the_title(); ?> </li>                 <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>              </ul>         <?php } else { ?>             <p>no courses match query</p>         <?php } ?> 

things i've tried:

  • hard coding value, nothing there.
  • removing * 's'

it seems impossible in wordpress, had way.

        $search_term = get_search_query();         $args = array (             'post_type' => 'courses',             'order' => 'asc',             'orderby' => 'title',             'posts_per_page' => -1,             'nopaging' => true,             's' => $search_term         );         $args2 = array (             'post_type' => 'courses',             'posts_per_page' => -1,             'nopaging' => true,             'meta_query' => array(                  array(                     'key' => 'course_id',                     'value' => $search_term,                     'compare' => 'like'                  )               )         );          $courses1 = get_posts($args);         $courses2 = get_posts($args2);         $merged = array_merge($courses1, $courses2);         $post_ids = array();         foreach ($merged $item) {             $post_ids[] = $item->id;         }          $unique = array_unique($post_ids);          $posts = get_posts(array(             'post_type' => 'courses',             'order' => 'asc',             'orderby' => 'title',             'post__in' => $unique,             'posts_per_page' => -1         )); ?>
