Hey guys!

I have the same issue, i want to display future post only.
I tried the solution Jason typed out.

Here is my code.

`<?php

//Set server timezone to central
date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/Amsterdam’);
//Today’s date
$date_1 = date(‘Ymd’, strtotime(“now”));
//Future date – the arg will look between today’s date and this future date to see if the post fall within the 2 dates.
$date_2 = date(‘Ymd’, strtotime(“+12 months”));

?>

<?php
//arg to determine if the post is an upcoming event.
$upcoming_args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘programma’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘meta_key’ => ‘start_date’,
‘meta_compare’ => ‘BETWEEN’,
‘meta_type’ => ‘numeric’,
‘meta_value’ => array($date_1, $date_2),
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’
);
?>

<?php
// the upcoming events query
$upcoming_query = new WP_Query( $upcoming_args );
?>

<?php if ( $upcoming_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<!– the loop –>
<?php while ( $upcoming_query->have_posts() ) : $upcoming_query->the_post(); ?>

<?php the_field(‘datum’); ?>

<?php
if( have_rows(‘programma_tijden_2’) ): ?>
<div id=”programma_tijden_2″>

<?php

// loop through rows (parent repeater)
while( have_rows(‘programma_tijden_2’) ): the_row(); ?>
<div class=”even-testen”>

<!– wrap the_sub_field in elk een aparte div voor de styling –>

<?php the_sub_field(‘tijdstip’); ?> <br />
<?php the_sub_field(‘informatie’); ?> <br />
<?php the_sub_field(‘extra_informatie’); ?> <br />

</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif;?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<!– end of the loop –>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php else: ?>
<p><?php _e( ‘Er zijn momenteel geen evenementen meer.’ ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
`

The only thing i see on my site is there are no events (the else statement)
What am i missing?

i’am not creating a new post, because i’am using this code. if needed i will create a new post.

thnx in advance
