Map element Query Loop Issue

How To
1

Bricks 2.0 & Chrome Version 137.0.7151.120

I have a map element with a query loop that is displaying posts from two post types: research-center & reseach-lab. I added a search filter to top it off, and this setup works fine:

Both post types are associated with the taxonomy “vib-science-topic”. Because it’d be great if people could also find labs/centers when they search by topic I thought I’d add a taxonomy query, but I just can’t get it to work.

I tried using the Bricks UI for a taxonomy query first, with these settings:

  • Taxonomy: [here I select the vib science topic taxonomy]
  • field: slug
  • terms: {get:brx_xxsrxo}
  • compare: IN
    As soon as I save that, my result list is empty, even if I don’t enter any term.

I then tried adding this in the PHP query editor:

$term_slug = $_GET['brx_xxsrxo'] ?? '';

$args = [
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'offset'         => 0,
    'post_type'      => ['research-center', 'research-lab'],
    'order'          => 'ASC',
    'orderby'        => 'title',
];

// Voeg taxonomy query toe als er een slug is
if (!empty($term_slug)) {
    $args['tax_query'] = [
        [
            'taxonomy' => 'vib-science-topic',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => $term_slug,
            'compare'  => 'LIKE',
            'include_children' => true,
        ]
    ];
}

return $args;

Now I see the posts, but as soon as I enter a topic like “neuroscience” I get zero results again, even if at least two posts are really associated with the term “neuroscience”:

The dev page for this is https://staging-gb.instawp.xyz/contact/ (it’s now using the PHP query loop).

Am I missing something? This shouldn’t be too hard, I suppose, but I still can’t seem to make it work. Can someone shed a professional light on this -something that I could perhaps try? I’d honestly really appreciate it.

Kind regards,
Geert
