Query posts by ACF checkbox field - php

Question

I cant seem to get facetwp to only display posts where an ACF checkbox field has a value of yes. My ACF checkbox value is stored in the post sidebar which I believe attaches it to the post itself (for lack of a more knowledgable way of explaining it)
There are lots of examples that are similar online, but I can't seem to modify any to work for me.
I have also tried with the ACF True/false field type, as it doesn't matter to me which type of field it is.
My latest attempt is
<div class="full-width-inner">
<div class="package-listings">
<div class="listings-table-row">
<?php
$type = get_field( 'is_this_educational', get_the_ID() );
$my_posts = new WP_Query([
'post_type' => 'packages',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'orderby' => 'date',
'meta_query' => [
[
'key' => 'is_this_educational',
'value' => '1'
]
]
]);
if ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) {
while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="package-wrapper edu_green_bg">
<?php if( get_field('add_flag', $post->ID)) { //Check if checkbox is checked ?>
<div class="flag orange-bg"><p><?php the_field( 'flag_text', $post->ID ); ?></p></div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="package-home-image">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="result-info">
<div class="home-package-title">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</div>
<div class="home-package-excerpt">
<p><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), 20, '...' ); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="home-package-button orange-bg">
<button>Read More</button>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- package wrapper end -->
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
</div> <!-- listings table row end -->
</div> <!-- Package listings end -->
</div>
But I have also tried:
$type = get_field( 'is_this_educational', get_the_ID() );
$my_posts = new WP_Query([
'post_type' => 'packages',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'orderby' => 'date',
'meta_query' => [
[
'key' => 'is_this_educational',
'value' => '"yes"'
]
]
]);
if ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) {
while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post(); ?>
And
<?php
$type = get_field( 'is_this_educational', get_the_ID() );
$my_posts = new WP_Query([
'post_type' => 'packages',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'orderby' => 'date',
'meta_query' => [
[
'key' => 'is_this_educational',
'value' => 'yes',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
]
]
]);
if ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) {
while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post(); ?>
And lastly - which I think might be the closest of them all but gives me a critical error.
Sorry for all the code but just to demonstrate that I have been trying
<section class="full-width-package-filter full-width-section cream-bg">
<div class="full-width-inner">
<div class="package-listings">
<div class="listings-table-row">
<?php
$posts = get_posts(array(
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'is_this_educational',
'value' => '"yes"',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
));
if( $posts ) {
while ( $my_posts->have_posts() ) : $my_posts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="package-wrapper edu_green_bg">
<?php if( get_field('add_flag', $post->ID)) { //Check if checkbox is checked ?>
<div class="flag orange-bg"><p><?php the_field( 'flag_text', $post->ID ); ?></p></div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="package-home-image">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="result-info">
<div class="home-package-title">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</div>
<div class="home-package-excerpt">
<p><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), 20, '...' ); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="home-package-button orange-bg">
<button>Read More</button>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- package wrapper end -->
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
endif;
?>
</div> <!-- listings table row end -->
