Hello and thanks for a great plugin. I probably should not post here since I have no knowledge of PHP, but I hope it’s not too much of a bother.
I’ve created a custom post type called Event and then a custom field with date picker. With the help of a code example in the documentaion on here I was able to sort the events by their date from the date picker field. I added the code to functions.php
function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
// do not modify queries in the admin
if( is_admin() ) {
return $query;
}
// only modify queries for 'event' post type
if( isset($query->query_vars['post_type']) && $query->query_vars['post_type'] == 'event' ) {
$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');
$query->set('meta_key', 'start_date');
$query->set('order', 'ASC');
}
// return
return $query;
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts');
I wonder if it would be possible to have a similar function for hiding past posts/events and only show current day and forward? When looking around I did find code that seemed to do this, but I was not able to change it so it would work or make it into a function.
Thank you in advance.
$query->set('meta_value', date('Ymd'));
$query->set('meta_compare', '>=');

Thank you so much! That worked. I understand now I can add those query to the function. Thank you.
