   I am currently using Custom Field Template. I need to make everything as simple as possible for the client, and so to make an event I've created a custom field with the date picker tool displaying the date as mm/dd/yyyy (the preferred format; if possible would like to keep this).

   Going into the backend, I'm trying to code the php for get today's date and the query meta comparison. Here is the code I have:

   <?php  //Get today's date in the right format
   $todaysDate = date('m/d/Y');
   ?>
   
   <?php query_posts('showposts=-1&category_name=Event&meta_key=StartDate&meta_compare=>=&meta_value=' . $todaysDate . '&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC'); ?>

   This is not currently working and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Just to reemphasize, I am only trying to post events that have not yet occurred, hence why I need to make the comparison.

   If I've made anything unclear let me know and I will clarify as soon as possible. And thank you in advance for any feedback.

   I'm having the exact same issue. The funny thing is that upcoming events are showing only for events this year. As soon as I post an event next year they are not showing.

   It must be something in the call of the $todayDate... Do you think we can call that in a different format?
   Anyone else have any ideas?
