I am trying to: have an available checkbox on a custom search that filters whether or not a certain WYSIWYG field has content.

I know taxonomies can easily search for content via toggling checkboxes. However, when adding a filter, I didn't see the ability to display based on whether a field has content. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Mike,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this . Is it that you don't want the posts to display if the content is empty?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Kind of. Basically, there's a CPT of profiles. Each person's profile has an optional field for consultations. In a custom search, I want one available filter to be "offers consultation", which searches and displays profiles that have any content in the consultations field.

I see a two-step way to do it: make a taxonomy for consultations > Offered, then have a filter for that. Just curious to see if there's a more streamlined way to do it.

Hi Mike,

This is the simplest way i see of doing it since my method would suggest the use of a custom field which is essentially the same approach.

Thanks,
Shane
