Question

I’m trying to search by three conditions under WordPress wp_usermeta table which is like below:

      umeta_id  user_id   meta_key  meta_value       
            49  3   email   [e-mail]
        51  3   suburb  Noarlunga
        52  3   state   SA
        53  3   postcode    5168
        54  3   maternitybg Yes
        55  3   occupation  Comm midwife
        56  3   wp_user_level   0
        57  3   nick_name   Virginia
        58  3   last_name   Schodde
        59  3   first_name  Virginia
        60  3   title

        43616   3   wp_capabilities a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";s:1:"1";}
        41939   3   maternitybg Yes

Below is my current SQL but it’s not filtering by postcode 3000:

    select distinct user_id from wp_usermeta where 
( meta_key='state' and meta_value= 'Vic') or 
( meta_key='postcode' and meta_value= '3000') or 
( meta_key='maternitybg' and meta_value= 'No') 
GROUP BY user_id HAVING COUNT(meta_key) = 3

Any ideas?

Answer 1

User number 3 has two rows for the maternitybg = Yes key, so this matches:

having count(meta_key) = 3

To fix this, add distinct to verify that it matches three different keys:

having count(distinct meta_key) = 3
