    Hi,

    I’ve read document about using shortcode to show list data, and I know that the list can be filtered by category or some attributes
    ( https://connections-pro.com/documentation/shortcodes/shortcode-connections/filters/).

    But can I filter it by my custom field? For example:

    [shortcode my_custom_field=”my custom value”]

    Waiting for your reply.

    yes, but is complex. Here is an example:

    [connections meta_query='{"meta_query":{"0":{"key":"Membership Type","value":"Golden","compare":"="}}}']
    Capitalization matters. Change Membership Type and Golden so it works with your data

    The key is the Custom Fields Name and the value is the Value in the Custom Fields.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you for your reply!

    I tried your code with custom-field which is created by default Custom Fields section and it’s work!

    However when I created custom-field by adding code

    (https://connections-pro.com/2016/03/27/quicktip-custom-field-checkbox-group/)

    It does not run…

    So do you have any suggestions?

    Sorry, but this will not work with a checkbox group custom field. Only text fields. The reason is that the way the data in the database needs to be stored. The data for a checkbox field is not saved as text which can not be used with a meta_query.
