tribe_filter_meta_query( array $meta_query, array $where )

Removes meta query entries based on key and value.

Contents

Example usage to remove all date-related meta queries, using a regular expression:

$query->meta_query = tribe_filter_meta_query( $args[‘meta_query’], array( ‘key’ => ‘/_Event(Start|End)Date(UTC)/’ ) );

Parameters

$meta_query

(array) (Required) The meta query array to filter, usually the content of the $query->meta_query property.

$where

(array) (Required) A map of criteria for the filtering that will be applied with OR logic: if an entry matches even one then it will be removed. If the value of the comparison is a regular expression, with fences, then it will be used for a preg_match check against the key, not a simple comparison.

Return
