wrong date in post loop

Resolved

(@kiccokeys)

Hello,
as I try to loop the upcoming events like this:


<?php
  $loop = new WP_Query( array(
    post_type' => 'mep_events',
    'posts_per_page' => 3
    )
   );
?>

<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <span><?php do_action('mep_event_date'); ?></span>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

what i get is that, instead of event date, I get CURRENT date.
Is there something i’m doing wrong?

Thanks a lot, regards.

I solved like this (if can be helpful)
```
//inside the loop
$date = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event_start_date', true); if($date != ''){echo date("j F Y", strtotime($date));
$time = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event_start_time', true); if($time != ''){echo date("H:i", strtotime($time));} 
//inside the loop
```

Instead of using date function, you can use get_mep_datetime($date,$type) this function to display the correct date because date returns the server DateTime.

It will display the date according to wp date settings
echo get_mep_datetime($date,’date’);

It will display the date as text according to wp date settings
echo get_mep_datetime($date,’date-text’);

It will display the date & time according to wp date settings
echo get_mep_datetime($date,’date-time’);

It will display the date text as text according to wp date settings
echo get_mep_datetime($date,’date-time-text’);

Thanks
