Hello,
I am here to ask that I created a date picker field with name of the Last Date. Is it possible that when date passed it will show text and hide the date?

You did not really give a lot to go on, but yes, it would be possible.

You get the value, you compare it to the current date and do something based on the comparison.

$today = date('Ymd');
$date = get_field('date_field', false, false); // get unformatted value
if ($date < $today) {
  // date is passed
} else {
  // date is not passed
}

Actually, I am using ACF and I create a date field with the name of (LAST DATE). So I just want to show a specific text after or replace the field.

For Example, I added the last date 15 Dec 2019 and it’s showing me on my site. When 15 Dec 2019 gone then it will show like this.

Replace The date: Job Expire

Ok I fixed it, thanks.

$currentdate = new DateTime();
$date = get_field('last_date', false, false);
$date = new DateTime($date);
if ($currentdate > $date) {
  echo '(Job Expire)';  
} else {
  echo get_field( 'last_date' );
}
