Hi John

Thanks for all the info, i ended up creating a shortcode the Ess. Grid and Rev Slider plugins.

function getdatefromacf_shortcode( $atts ) {

	// Attributes
	extract($atts = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'postid' => '',
			'metaid' => 'date_from'
		),
		$atts
	));

	return get_field($metaid, $postid);
}
add_shortcode( 'getdatefromacf', 'getdatefromacf_shortcode' );

This in Ess. Grid
[getdatefromacf metaid='date_from' postid=%post_id%]

and this in Rev SLider
[getdatefromacf metaid='date_from' postid={{id}}]

hi guys, im having the same issue with Rev Slider returning YYYYMMDD instead of the format specified in the return format of ACF.

I cant get anything to work for me, any ideas?

Been on to the developers and they wrote a shortcode for me

function getdatefromacf_shortcode( $atts ) {

	// Attributes
	extract($atts = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'postid' => '',
			'metaid' => 'date_from'
		),
		$atts
	));

	return get_field($metaid, $postid);
}
add_shortcode( 'getdatefromacf', 'getdatefromacf_shortcode' );

[getdatefromacf metaid='date_to' postid=%post_id%]

[getdatefromacf metaid='date_from' postid=%post_id%]

It solves the problem

Thanks for the input John, I just cant figure out how the Plugin render the date at the moment, I’ve gone back to the free version of ACF as the EssGrid plugin renders the date correctly.
