    Hi,

    I installed Your plugin to my test page to get familiar with it. I want to use Your plugin to create lists of posts with custom data.

    I have build a search form and used Post Meta field with date range and Meta Keys for UI to show the list of posts. But unfortunately I can’t get the results I need. I use custom field in my posts to show the dates of trips (it is a travel site).

    Can You help me out? Let me know if You need more information.

    Thank You.

    Are you able to show me the search URL you have built, and what date data does the post hold and what input do you want the user to make?

    Hi,

    The search results are here http://kontiki.convertonline.ee/otsingud/
    I want that the user can filter the posts within date range. But if you insert any date range – no results found.
    I think, that I have something wrong in admin, but I can’t figure it out.

    The fields that hold the dates, are they ACF dates or another type of custom field? It is important that the date are stored in a way that our search can filter. So, today might be 14/12/2016 but it needs to be 20161214 when stored.

    Hi Trevor, Thank You for Your help. I still have problems with my settings (I think).
    I added some screenshots to better explain it. And I do not use ACF.

    Are you able to look into the WP Database and the Post Meta table to see how they are stored? If they are like 2016-12-25 I do not think that this will work.

    The screenshots show you defining the fields. What plugin is this that you are using? Is it Custom Content Manager? If so, I think that is withdrawn from the WP plugin repository for being unsafe. What different data format saving options does it give you? I can see mySQL yyyy-mm-dd

    The one I use in ACF is the jquery yymmdd format (which saves as 20161225).

    Hi,

    Thank You for Your reply.
    No, I can’t get to database and yes this is CCTM plugin which is clean after the new release.
    And data format saving options are:
    Default mm/dd/yy
    MySQL yyyy-mm-dd
    Short d M,y
    Medium d MM, y, Full DD ,d MM, yy
    With Text ‘day’ d ‘of’ MM ‘in the year’ yy

    If you download and install this plugin (do NOT leave it activated after use):

    https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adminer.1.4.5.zip

    It should let you view the database, open the post met table and search for a post id that you know has a date saved and look to see what is saved.
