      I am trying to create a sidebar with its conditional being to activate only if the post_belongs has a null value. In other words show the sidebar only posts that have a ‘sponsor’ post_belong relationship.

      I have started with this:

      <?php
	
	$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'sponsor'
    ,'posts_per_page' => -1
    ,'post_belongs' => $post->ID
    ,'post_status' => 'publish'
    ,'suppress_filters' => false
    ,'exclude' => $post->ID
  );
  $the_query = null;
  $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	
  
	 if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {

      I know that isn’t proper syntax but essentially just want to create a conditional wrapper that won’t initiate the sidebar if the post doesn’t have ‘sponsor’ belonging to it.

      'if ( $the_query->post_belongs = null ) {

      Maybe I’m missing the point but you should be able to find the answer here:

      Hi Anthony!

      I assume that’s not working? I’d probably just use get_posts, use 'fields' => 'ids' to make the query leaner, and check to see if the result is empty. In a shortened form you probably won’t use exactly, something like this: if ( empty(get_posts($args)) ) { }

      Hope this helps! 🙂

      It got me onto a better solution.

      Just trying to use the pre_get_posts within the functions.php so that the single custom post type ‘sponsor’ grabs the ‘posts’ that are attributed to that ‘sponsor.’ 

      
function be_event_query( $query ) {
	
	if ( $query->is_main_query() && !$query->is_feed() && !is_admin() && is_singular('sponsor') ) {

	$query->set('post_type',array('sponsor'));		

	// I am trying to add the post_belong or the post_has here!!	

		$query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
	} elseif ( $query->is_main_query() && !$query->is_feed() && !is_admin() ) {
		
		$meta_query = array(
			array(
				'key' => 'post_clearance',
				'value' => 'true',
				'compare' => 'IN'
			)
		);

	
	}

}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_event_query' );
