this obviously doesn’t work and like I said I wish it did but it doesn’t.

I changed it as you suggested and that made it worse. Now it’s showing every page on my site.

Main Menu is the name of my menu which is assigned to my Header Menu location which is my only menu location currently.

…

I also see the error: Unknown site/blog

I found the actual issue so I thought I’d update.

ACF documentation says to use $today = date (‘Ymd’) to compare dates but you really need to use current_time(‘Ymd’) so I removed the functions.php code that I added and fixed the problem rather than work around it.

Here’s my query now

$event1 = current_time('Ymd');
	$args = array(
        'post_type' => 'events',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' => '10',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'event_date_ends',
			'compare' => '>=',
			'value' => $event1,
			)
			),
	'meta_key' => 'event_date_ends',
	'orderby' => 'meta_value',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1 ),
);

Turns out I just had to convert this via functions.php to unix timestamp and it worked.

functions.php

function custom_unixtimesamp ( $post_id ) {
    if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'events' ) {
	$startdate = get_post_meta($post_id, 'event_date_begins', true);

		if($startdate) {
			$dateparts = explode('/', $startdate);
			$newdate1 = strtotime(date('d.m.Y H:i:s', strtotime($dateparts[1].'/'.$dateparts[0].'/'.$dateparts[2])));
			update_post_meta($post_id, 'unixstartdate', $newdate1  );
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'custom_unixtimesamp', 100, 2);

then query

$today = time();	

	$args = array(
        'post_type' => 'events',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' => '10',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'unixstartdate',
			'compare' => '>=',
			'value' => $today,
			)
			),
	'meta_key' => 'event_date_begins',
	'orderby' => 'meta_value',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1 ),
);
