post_date filter not working with open ranges

Hi there,

We are using date range filter for default post_date field. If user supplies “from” only or “to” only value then no filtering happens and all the posts are displayed.

Example1:
User enters “12/01/2016” in “From” field. “To” field stays blank. User clicks “Filter”
Following request is being served: http://ourblog/?sfid=165&post_date=12012016+
EXPECTED: all posts published on or after 12/01/2016 are displayed
ACTUAL: all posts are displayed

Example1:
User enters “12/01/2016” in “To” field. “From” field stays blank. User clicks “Filter”
Following request is being served: http://ourblog/?sfid=165&post_date=+12012016
EXPECTED: all posts published on or before 12/01/2016 are displayed
ACTUAL: all posts are displayed

If both values are supplied, filter works as expected.

This is the expected behaviour. In a future version we will most likely add more comparison operators, but for now both need to be completed. You could add some logic, using the plugin filters, to your functions.php file. I would think you would need Edit Query Arguments:

Using this filter to hook in custom logic, thanks!
