Perhaps you have an events custom post type registered with WordPress. Perhaps you are using the date field for Advanced Custom Fields. I’d wager a guess you want to get all the events that have a date greater than (in the future) the current date. Who cares about past events?

 

[code]
$today = date(‘Ymd’); // Today’s date
$args = array (
‘post_type’ => ‘event’, // Or your custom post type….
‘meta_query’ => array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘event_date’, //Advanced custom field key
‘compare’ => ‘>=’,
‘value’ => $today,
)
),
);
$posts = new WP_Query($args);
[/code]

Or paged:

[code]

$today = date(‘Ymd’); // Today’s date

if ( get_query_var(‘paged’) ) {
$paged = get_query_var(‘paged’);
} else if ( get_query_var(‘page’) ) {
$paged = get_query_var(‘page’);
} else {
$paged = 1;
}
query_posts( array(
‘meta_query’=> array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘event_date’,
‘compare’ => ‘>’,
‘value’ => $today,
‘type’ => ‘DATE’,
)),
‘post_type’ => ‘events’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 4,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘paged’ => $paged ) );
[/code]
