How it Works

In Malcolm HQ, there are multiple custom post types that are associated with rep_agency by agency_id. The rep__agency_id parameter allows efficient retrieval of these CPT posts based on an associated agency ID.

Unlike standard WordPress meta queries (meta_query), which rely on wp_postmeta, this parameter queries a custom database table, making filtering significantly more efficient. Since the data is stored in a custom table, filtering is optimized for performance and does not require additional meta_query conditions.

Applicable CPT’s

• Employees (rep_employee)
• Listings (rep_listing)
• Reviews (rep_review)
• Projects (rep_project)

Accepted Values

rep__agency_id accepts an integer agency ID:

• Integers – An agency ID that should be used to filter the results.
