Don't show post when they have passed

Hello !

I have a list of events and I would like to know if it’s possible to hide them when they have passed and how.

I call my date like that :

<?php 
$date = get_field('jour_de_levenement', false, false);
$date = new DateTime($date);
?>
<p class="date-event"><?php echo $date->format('j'); ?>

<p class="month"><?php echo $date->format('F '); ?><?php echo $date->format('Y'); ?>

It seems like I need to use query_post and I tried this code :

<?php

  $current_date = date('j F Y');
  $current_date = strtotime( $current_date );

  query_posts(array('post_type' => 'evenement',
              'showposts' => 12,
              'meta_key'=>'jour_de_levenement',  
              'orderby' => 'meta_value', 
              'order' => ASC));
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 

  $post_date = get('jour_de_levenement');
  $post_date = strtotime( $post_date );

  if( $post_date > $current_date ):

?>
 <div class="date-custom-page">   
        <?php 
          $date = get_field('jour_de_levenement', false, false);
          $date = new DateTime($date);
        ?>
        <p class="date-event"><?php echo $date->format('j'); ?>

        <p class="month"><?php echo $date->format('F '); ?><?php echo $date->format('Y'); ?>

<?php
  endif;
  endwhile;
?>

But it didn’t hide my old posts. I really appreciate if someone has an idea.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

what field type is the jour_de_levenement field? And what value is returned?

Hi fabianmarz,

jour_de_levenement is a Date field and the code :

<p class="date-event"><?php echo $date->format('j'); ?>
<p class="month"><?php echo $date->format('F '); ?><?php echo $date->format('Y'); ?>

Return me the day, month and year like that : 06 September 2016

I wanted to split the date into different <p> and then to be able to customize the date and it’s working.

For the value, I use get_field with my field jour_de_levenement.

Maybe I need to put this (my div date-custom-page) before the query_post ?

Thanks a lot for your time !

Hi @snogy

I believe you can do it by using this query:

$args = array('post_type' => 'evenement',
    'showposts' => 12,
    'meta_key' => 'jour_de_levenement',  
    'meta_compare' => '>',  
    'meta_value' => date("Ymd"),
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => 'ASC'
);

I hope this helps 🙂
