Search Date Range using ACF (Not using post_date)

Anonymous

Is it possible to perform a date range search within the S&F plugin that ties in with the ACF date picker?

From what I can see the only date related option I have relates to the post date, whereas the client has asked for some sort of event search functionality.

The date search does work when referencing the post_date

Yup, ACF creates post meta, so you want to add a post meta field, and choose the date option 🙂

Just be warned, ACF creates 3 most meta entries for a custom field, only one of them can be used with the field. If your custom field was “location” you would have:

#1 _location
#2 field_5a16902ae5c07
#3 location

You need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name, as it is this meta key that holds the term data.

Thanks
