Hi,
I’m trying to show in a page upcoming events using a custom post type and acf datepicker, unfortunately my foreach show all posts and not only the upcoming ones (following my code).
Can you tell me where I’m wrong? Thank you.
<?php
// get today's date
$today = date( 'd-m-Y' );
// get posts
$futureposts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'eventi',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => 'event_date_start',
'meta_value' => date('d-m-Y'),
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_compare' => '>=',
'value' => $today,
'type' => 'DATE',
));
if( $futureposts ): ?>
<ul class="events-list">
<?php foreach( $futureposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<li>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_field( 'event_date_start' ); ?>
<?php if( get_field( 'event_date_end' ) ) :
echo " - ";
the_field( 'event_date_end' );
endif; ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</div>
</li>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<? else: ?>
<?php _e( 'No upcoming events are currently on the calendar.' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Worth looking at this forum post it may help you
I solved like this:
<?php
// get today's date
$today = date( 'Y-m-d' );
// get posts
$futureposts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'eventi',
'meta_key' => 'event_date_start',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query'=> array(
array(
'key' => 'event_date_start',
'compare' => '>',
'value' => date("Y-m-d"),
'type' => 'DATE'
)
),
));
if( $futureposts ): ?>
<ul class="events-list">
<?php foreach( $futureposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<li>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_field( 'event_date_start' ); ?>
<?php if( get_field( 'event_date_end' ) ) :
echo " - ";
the_field( 'event_date_end' );
endif; ?>
<br />
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</div>
</li>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<? else: ?>
<p><?php _e( 'No upcoming events are currently on the calendar.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
This script looks like it does exactly what I need–but I don’t know where to put it!
Do I put it in functions.php and wrap it into a short code?
–don
no that code is for template files such as page.php
