Date Filter: Current Date to Future Date

Anonymous

#9397

With the latest update it seems like I’m getting the correct results back.

But is there a way to filter from current date to future date? In other words, I want to use the date range but not have the user enter today’s date. I only want them to have to enter the future date. Right now it seems like if I don’t enter a start date it shows me all of my posts.

Hey there

Are you talking about dates in post meta data/custom fields?

Basically, if you use a date field – it will return a specific date.

If you use a date range – it will return results between two dates.

However – there is a new option in S&F (with v 1.4.0) where you can add meta queries in the “settings & defaults” box – here you can choose your meta key, set the type to DATE, and then you can tick the box “current day” and use the operator >= which will show all posts in the future from the current day – I think this may be what you are after 🙂

Thanks

What is the format of the date? It must be YYYYMMDD

Under Search Form UI, the date input format is YYYMMDD (ACF) and my custom field (call_for_entry_deadline_date) save format is yymmdd.

You mention it isn’t working anymore, so it did work for a time, but then stopped?
