Hi, I am trying to use the date picker to hide my event posts. Some events are one day events and some are multiple day events, and what I am trying to do Is have the post end on the “end-date”, and If “end_date” Is not selected I need It to end on the “start_date”. At the moment It works on the “end-date”, but I need It to work on “start_date: IF “end-date” Is not entered.

if ($expireTransient = get_transient($post->ID) === false) {

    set_transient($post->ID, 'set for 1 minutes', 1);
    $today = date('M j, Y');
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'event',
        'posts_per_page' => 200,
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'end_date',
                'value' => $today,
                'type' => 'DATE',
                'compare' => '<='
            ),
            array(
                'key' => 'start_date',
                'value' => $today,
                'type' => 'DATE',
                'compare' => '<='
            ),
        )
    );
    

    $posts = get_posts($args);

    foreach( $posts as $post ) {
        if(get_field('end_date', $post->ID) == $today) {
            $postdata = array(
                'ID' => $post->ID,
                'post_status' => 'trash'
            );
            wp_update_post($postdata);

        } elseif (get_field('start_date', $post->ID) == $today) {
                $postdata = array(
                    'ID' => $post->ID,
                    'post_status' => 'draft'
                );
                wp_update_post($postdata);
        }
    }
}

Thank you!
