Hi @garywright

I think I’ve made a mistake in my reply there. It should be like this:

// Get the raw date and convert it to timestamp
$date_timestanp = strtotime(get_field('acf_date_field_name', false, false));

if ($date_timestanp < strtotime('-30 days')) { 
    echo "30 days";
} else {
    echo "Its OK";
}

If you use ACF PRO version, the format doesn’t matter as long as you set the format to false in the get_field() function.

In the other hand, if you use the free version, you need to use the right format before converting it to a timestamp. It should be something like this:

// Get the raw date and convert it to timestamp
$the_date = get_field('acf_date_field_name', false, false);
$the_date = str_replace('/', '-', $the_date);
$date_timestanp = strtotime($the_date);

if ($date_timestanp < strtotime('-30 days')) { 
    echo "30 days";
} else {
    echo "Its OK";
}

If that doesn’t work, could you please debug the data like this:

echo $the_date;
echo "<br />";
echo $date_timestanp;

Thanks 🙂
