Hi Elliot

That’s the code i used:

<?php $args = 
     			array(
     				'post_not_in'    => array($donotrepeat),
                                'post_type'       => 'chuchi_event',
     				'meta_key'        => 'event_datum',
     				'orderby'        => 'meta_value',
     				'order'           => 'dsc',
            'meta_query'  => array(         
                  'key'     => 'event_datum',  
                  'value'   => date("Ymd"),  
                  'compare' => '<=',          
                  'type'    => 'DATE'         
                                  )     					           
     			      ); 
        
          echo '<pre>';
	        print_r( $args );
          echo '</pre>';
          die;
     
        $events = new WP_Query($args);
     
        ?>

That’s the output:

Array
(
    [post_not_in] => Array
        (
            [0] => 
        )

    [post_type] => chuchi_event
    [meta_key] => event_datum
    [orderby] => meta_value
    [order] => dsc
    [meta_query] => Array
        (
            [key] => event_datum
            [value] => 20131218
            [compare] => <=
            [type] => DATE
        )

)

I hope it’s what you are looking for.
Thanks
