Hi @huwrowlands
The best way to get only the date or the time is by converting the value to a date object like this:
$date = get_field('date_time_picker', 85, false);
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
echo "\n";
echo $date->format('H:i:s');
Please check this page to see the available format: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php.
I’m afraid you need to query it as whole date and time. If you need to query it separately, you need to create separate fields for the date and the time.
I hope this makes sense 🙂
