  I been going around for three days, and I just can´t figure this out. I need to display a list of posts based on the day/month, that equals to present day/month, set up with date picker. I have the following code that works perfectly for posts based on their published date, day/month, altough not custom fields, and would be great to adapt it somehow to Date Picker:

  <?php
  $posts_from_today = new WP_Query( array(
      'date_query' => array(
          array(
              'month' => date( 'n', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ),
              'day' => date( 'j', current_time( 'timestamp' ) )
          ),
      ),
      'posts_per_page' => -1,
  ) );
  
  if( $posts_from_today->have_posts() ){
      while( $posts_from_today->have_posts() ){
          $posts_from_today->the_post();
          the_title();
      }
  }
  ?>

  For the ACF field, to do something similar you would need

  
  $date_pattern = '__'.date('md');
  
  ......
  $query_args = array(
    'meta_query' => array(
      array(
        'key' => 'field_name',
        'value' => $date_pattern,
        'compare' => 'LIKE'
      )
    )
  );
