Things to know<\/div>

This feature allows displaying only posts that contain the specific information. This can be accomplished using categories, but it won't help when querying posts by specific values. In order to achieve such a feat, you'd need to use the special functionality of JetBlog<\/i> widgets, allowing you to filter the posts using the values from the meta fields. We described the custom fields, including all details, in the How to Display the Content From Meta Fields in Smart Posts List and Posts Tiles Widgets <\/strong> <\/a> tutorial.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Configure the Posts Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the Custom Fields<\/strong> can be added to a post via the Post Options<\/strong><\/a> or the site\u2019s database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the Custom Fields via the Post Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Open the needed post in the WordPress Dashboard > Posts > All Posts<\/em><\/strong> tab and click the \u201cthree dots<\/strong>\u201d button in the upper-right corner. Here, move to the bottom of the settings window and press the Preferences<\/strong> tab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, move to the bottom of the newly appeared Preferences<\/strong> pop-up and enable the Custom Fields<\/strong> toggle in the Advanced<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"enabling<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After that, the pop-up will disappear, and a list of custom fields will appear below the post\u2019s fields. Scroll the page until you reach the Custom Field<\/strong> block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you will see the block named “Add New Custom Field<\/strong>“. In the drop-down, select the Name<\/strong> and enter the post’s Value<\/strong> to be shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"adding<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, save the post by pressing the \u201cSave<\/strong>\u201d button at the top of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the Custom Field via the site database<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To add value, you need to access the site\u2019s database using the appropriate tools (e.g., phpMyAdmin<\/strong>). Then select the wp_postmeta<\/strong> table and look for the meta_key<\/strong> field to choose the appropriate key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that multiple values can be selected at once. Default values are applied if nothing else is chosen.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enable the JetBlog widgets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move to the WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > JetPlugins Settings<\/em><\/strong> tab. Here, the JetBlog<\/em> settings are displayed. Unroll the Available Widgets<\/strong> tab and enable the Smart Posts List<\/strong><\/a> or Smart Tiles List<\/strong><\/a> widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once enabled, the changes will be saved automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the widgets to a page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Open a page and insert the Smart Posts List<\/strong> or Smart Tiles List <\/strong>widget on the page. Here, the posts will be displayed and arranged by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After that, choose the needed section and proceed to the Content > Query & Control<\/em><\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toggle on the Filter by Custom Fields<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Custom Fields Key<\/strong> field, you have to add the corresponding field\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next field is Custom Fields Value<\/strong>, where you can query posts by the specific value of the custom field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Below, you can turn on the filter by Terms<\/strong>: <\/strong>Categories<\/strong><\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
