Pagination, filtering, date field query

[benjamin (Benjamin Tracy)]

Hey @avanti, here’s an explanations about why that’s happening:

@eliot

Pagination happens when the loop is created at the start. And any filtering done inside the content, using If tag, will be applied after the items are paginated already, inside of each item as they’re being looped.

What’s happening in the second code snippet is that items which don’t match the condition just have empty content - but they still exist as items within a page.

This seems to just be a limitation of the ACF relationship loop that it doesn’t accept query parameters. Depending on what data exists in your relationship field, you might also be able to just pass the data to a post loop, which would then allow you to filter it using query parameters. I just expressed how one might implement that idea in this thread.
