Hey Phillip,

Also posted this at ACF ...

Great example, very clear and works a treat - thanks for this. I'm trying to extend this further and want the link to echoed to go to a pdf attachment associated with the custom post type. How would I go about calling a field called 'publication_attachment' instead of the guid?

I have been trying all combinations with the following line but can't seem to work it out.

<code>echo '<a href="' . $related->guid . '">' . $related->post_title . '</a>';</code>

Any help most appreciated. Ta. Renee

Hey there @reneegade

Responded to you on the ACF forum, and I apologize for the slow response time -- travel and e-mail filters are my downfall!

Let me know if you're still working through this.

Phillip.

Hi Phillip, Thanks for getting back to me - I found a work around ... not sure how elegant it is but it works! Cheers Renee

Hey @reneegade,

Glad to hear it. :)

Phillip.

The 'value' parameter in the meta query doesn't seem to work for me. When removed it brings back all the posts unfiltered.
