Great to hear, this will be a really useful addition. When using the date picker to organise posts such as listing events by a start date, having the option to choose a time will mean we can use that date + time in our query to even organise events happening on the same day correct?
i.e. if three events are happening on the same day, I could order them by the date + time so they’re in the right chronological order right? When you guys implement that, it would be amazing if you could update this guide on your site to show how to do that:

Thanks for creating and maintaining this plugin Elliot, Jonathan and the team, you really are all a life saver.
Hi Hube2,
Thanks for getting back to me – so no conflicts with the ACF plugin? Sounds like it returns results pretty much everything I need (custom taxonomies as well), is there anything I should be aware of with the plugin in your experience i.e. it’s a bit buggy?
Thanks

Are you using WP_User_Query to display the fields in your shortcode?
Using the user ID, you should be able to display user meta data using the info here.
For example, in your shortcode, you could do this to display their AIM name.
Hope that helps,
Osu
Hi Elliot,
Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll use that information to get going and see where I get. The main issue I foresee though is that the WP_Cron functions is that they require someone to visit your site for the function to run at the scheduled time…
I guess another method might be to write a script that is run every day by a server-based cron job to check posts and send out emails if the ACF date is within a certain range.
If I’m successful with this (!), I’ll follow up on my promise of writing a tutorial for you (should you be interested).
Thanks,
Osu
Damn, it’s been a long day. Just realised I needed to use get_sub_field
not get_field
as I’m using a repeater field. *smacks forehead*
