In this example, my ACF field is named ‘event_date’ and is attached to a custom post type called ‘events’.
<?php
$upcoming_args = array(
'post_type' => 'events',
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'event_date',
'compare' => '>=',
'value' => current_time( 'Ymd' ),
),
),
);
$upcoming_events = new WP_Query( $upcoming_args ); ?>
<?php if ( $upcoming_events->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $upcoming_events->have_posts() ) : $upcoming_events->the_post(); ?>
<?php $date = get_field( 'event_date' ); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>: <?php echo esc_html( $date ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
This will display the next 6 upcoming events by date in comparison to the user’s current date.
