I have a similar issue. I have this:
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'cat' => '2'
);
and I want to add the additional sorting where the “event_date” custom field is either on or later than the current date. Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, tried this:
<?php
$today = date('MM d, yy');
$args = array (
'post_type' => 'post',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'compare' => '>=',
'value' => $today,
),
array(
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'cat' => '2'
)
),
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post(); ?>
But it does not return the correct result. It shows all the events.
Excellent. It works! So what if I want to only display events with an event_date that is on or after the current date?
Will this work with get_posts as well? I have a similar issue what I want to display all the posts with the category “event” and I want to order them based on Advanced custom field called event_date. Here is how I want to display each post:
<div class="home-post-area">
<div class="home-post-image">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('', array('class' => 'img-responsive')); ?>
<div class="home-post-image-overlay">
<h3><?php the_field('event_date'); ?> <?php the_field('event_price'); ?></h3>
<h4><?php the_title();?></h4>
</div>
</div>
<div class="home-post-content">
<?php the_excerpt();?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><atrong>>> MORE</atrong></a></p>
</div>
</div>
