$all_events = array (
    'post_type' => 'events',
		'posts_per_page' => 50,
		'status' => 'published',
		'meta_query' => array(
		'relation' => 'OR',
    array(
        'key' => 'event_start_date',
        'value' => array( $startday, $endday ),
        'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
        'type' => 'DATE'
    )
 ),
);

I’ve tried this but it doesnt exactly work.

I saw in your documentation there is a way to query posts between dates. So i tried that, but it doesnt quite seem to work with what i want to do with it.

I have some events and i made a start event date and end event date fields. I want to query the events by the start and end dates.

The problem i have is lets say an event starts in May and ends in July. I have a page that lists the events by month. A page for May, June, and July. So this event that has a start date of May 1 2014 and an end date of July 28, 2014 should also show on the June page.

Do you have any options for getting the query to work in this way? It doesnt seem to be working.
