WordPress Query where meta field is not set / doesn’t exist
By North Street, A Creative Studio
Sometimes you need to search for a meta field that doesn’t yet exist. If that’s the case, this is the secret:
'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'AND', array( 'key' => 'resource_type', 'value' => '', // empty field required! 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' // works! ), )
