Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Query loop element IDs and the date field (stored as Ymd).
$wpide_bricks_upcoming_ids = array( 'abcdef' );
$wpide_bricks_upcoming_meta = 'event_date';
add_filter( 'bricks/posts/query_vars', function ( $query_vars, $settings, $element_id ) use ( $wpide_bricks_upcoming_ids, $wpide_bricks_upcoming_meta ) {
if ( ! in_array( $element_id, $wpide_bricks_upcoming_ids, true ) ) {
return $query_vars;
}
$meta_query = isset( $query_vars['meta_query'] ) ? (array) $query_vars['meta_query'] : array();
$meta_query[] = array(
'key' => $wpide_bricks_upcoming_meta,
'value' => wp_date( 'Ymd' ),
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
);
$query_vars['meta_query'] = $meta_query;
$query_vars['meta_key'] = $wpide_bricks_upcoming_meta;
$query_vars['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
$query_vars['order'] = 'ASC';
return $query_vars;
}, 10, 3 );Notes
The date field must store Ymd values (ACF date picker default). Set the element IDs and field name at the top.
