Also just to add to this problem, it won’t take into account the date order from the ACF field of date. I’m using this loop:
[loop type=events count=2 acf_date=date value=future]
Event Name: [field title]
Date: [field acf_date=date]
Location: [field location]
[/loop]
So I need to have it display the date in the F j, Y format and also be in the correct date order displaying the future dates, currently it doesn’t display anything when I have the value=future.
Any help would be great!
Not sure if this helps Christopher, is it the date_format parameter you need?
I’ve been frustrated for an hour or so using the format parameter which didn’t work for me. A couple of extra date examples in the documentation would be great wouldn’t it.
I have a custom field populated with JQuery date picker. In the database, I’m seeing wp_postmeta.meta_value having 20180806 stored as longtext for today’s date. My custom field is called dat and I’ve used [field dat date_format=’D j M Y’] on the page which is displaying Mon 6 Aug 2018.
Hope that helps,
David
I found a solution in the end by building myself a shortcode with all the bits I needed 🙂 sorry 🙂
Glad you found a solution 🙂

Thank you David! That was incredibly helpful.
