    Are these dates already entered for each post?
    You mention events, are you using an event plugin?
    Are the multiple dates entered (or will be entered) in a single or multiple fields?

    I need some more information?

    “Are these dates already entered for each post?”
    Not yet.

    “You mention events, are you using an event plugin?”
    I created a custom post-type “event”. I don’t use a plugin (except ACF to create the fields)

    “Are the multiple dates entered (or will be entered) in a single or multiple fields?”
    What do you recommend ?

    OK. Can you explain what these dates are/represent (e.g. start of an event, end of any event, etc.)?

    The dates represent the dates of a show for example.

    For example, an event will have several dates (and not necessarily one after the other):
    03/11/17, 04/11/17, 06/11/17, 07/11/17

    I had feared that might be the case. ACF only has single value date fields. No multi value date fields are available. I guess you might add them in a repeater field, but we do not support that type of ACF field (yet). So you would have to represent that event as starting on 20171103 and ending on 20171107 (notice the format that the date must be stored and retrieved in).

    If this is not possible, go on a “start” and “end” date.
    Is this possible using the “Date range” field with this solution?

    Ok, I just saw that “Post Meta” had tabs!
    Thank you very much.
