 * I’m using conditional tags in the search.php to identify the type of posts presented(
   by adding something to the title: like “Upcoming event” or “News”). This works
   with:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( get_post_type() == 'evenementen' ) { ?>
       ```
   
 * But now I need to make sure that events that have passed today’s date are identified
   as “Archived event”.
    This is what I’ve done so far for the upcoming events:
 *     ```
       <?php // Get today's date in the right format
       $todaysDate = date('Y-m-d / H:i'); 
   
       $argsue = array(
           'post_type' => 'evenementen',
           'meta_key' => 'Wanneer',
           'meta_compare' => '>=',
           'meta_value' => '' . $todaysDate . ''
         );
       ?>
   
       <?php if (in_array($argsue)) { ?>
       ```
   
 * But this is not working. Hope someone can help me with this!
    Thanks in advance,
   John.

 * Is this a mission impossible or am I missing something very obvious? Please, 
   could someone help me with this?
